Use all of the broccoli from your ALDI Surprise Bag with this delicious, herby, light pasta recipe.
Large handful herbs - think basil, parsley or coriander
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 broccoli stalk, roughly chopped
½ a broccoli head, broken into small florets
35g nuts - think pine nuts, almonds, pistachio or cashew
50g parmesan cheese, grated, or nutritional yeast to make it vegan
200g of dry pasta
Salt
Olive oil
Boil a pot of water, add salt and cook your pasta on as directed on the packet.
In a food processor, pulse broccoli pieces until they’re broken up into pieces the size of corn kernels. Add herbs, garlic, nuts and cheese, and pulse into a thick paste is formed.
Add small amounts of salt until you reach a taste you like, then take the same approach with olive oil until you reach your preferred consistency.
When your pasta has 4 minutes left, add your broccoli florets. Drain your pasta and broccoli.
Add your pesto with a splash of pasta water, mix it all together and serve.
