Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces orecchiette (3 cups) or 12 ounces some other short pasta (3 cups)
1 bunch broccoli, cut into small florets (1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking water, drain the pasta, and return it to the pot.
  • Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss the broccoli, walnuts, oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast, tossing once, until the broccoli is tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Toss the pasta with the broccoli mixture, butter, and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. (Add more water if the pasta seems dry.) Sprinkle with the Parmesan before serving.
