🥦Roasted Broccoli Pasta

🥦Roasted Broccoli Pasta

🥦 RoAsTeD BrOcCoLi PaStA 🎬 Another take on 1 of my favourite dishes, that mum used to make 35 years ago. Roasting the broccoli takes it to new heights 🤤

Note that I use 3-4 broccoli heads, where most recipes ask for just 1 🙈 #eatyourgreens
Serves 3 adults

Ingredients
  • 3 large bunches broccoli, trim stems & cut into florets
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 400g spaghetti
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 lemon, juice and zest 
  •  Salt and pepper, to taste 

Optional
  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs (about 1 large slice)
  •  1 red chilli, chopped 🌶️

Method
  • Heat oven to 220C
  • Place broccoli on a baking tray in one layer
  •  Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil + some salt, and toss to coat. 
  •  Roast in oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender & a little brown.
  •  Put a pot of salted water & boil your spaghetti. (Keep some pasta water )
  •  Toast your breadcrumbs in a large pan with a tablespoon of oil. Set them aside. 
  •  Clean the pan and the remaining olive oil & soften & lightly brown the garlic, and chilli ( at this stage, if you like, you can add 2-3 anchovies and stir until dissolved )
  •  When done, turn off the heat, grate some lemon zest into the mix. 
  • Stir in your roasted broccoli, bread crumbs followed by the cooked pasta. Coat everything in the garlic mixture. 
  • If the mixture seems dry, add some of the pasta water , a few splashes at a time
  •  Serve the broccoli pasta with some of the remaining bread crumbs & lemon juice over the top.
  •  Finish with parmesan, or your favourite cheese.
