Method

1

Boil some water in a saucepan, add a generous amount of salt, then tip in the pasta and broccoli. After 3 mins, scoop out the broccoli and transfer to a food processor. Allow the pasta to continue cooking in the boiling water.

2

Juice the lemon into a food processor and add all of the remaining ingredients (except the pasta), along with 150ml pasta water. Blitz until smooth.

3

Drain the pasta once it’s al dente (just about cooked but still a little firm), reserving some of the pasta water in case you need a little extra to thicken up the sauce.

4

Pour the sauce into the saucepan and stir through the pasta. Cook over a low heat for a few more minutes until the pasta is at the desired tenderness and the sauce is hot.

5

Plate up and sprinkle over some Parmesan shavings.
