Pasta with Broccoli and Cheese Pesto
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of broccoli
- 360 g Borges penne
- 50 g walnuts
- 1 small clove of garlic
- 60 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 120 ml oat and walnut milk
- 3 tablespoons Borges extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step by step
-
Step 1
Wash the broccoli and separate it into florets. Cook it in salted water for 5 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain it and set aside some of the cooking water.
-
Step 2
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water following the instructions on the package. Set aside one cup of the cooking water before draining.
-
Step 3
Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry pan to enhance their flavor. Let them cool.
-
Step 4
Blend the cooked broccoli together with the walnuts, garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and oat and walnut milk until you get a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper and, if necessary, thin it with a little of the cooking water from the broccoli or the pasta.
-
Step 5
Combine the hot pasta with the broccoli pesto and mix until fully coated. For a creamier texture, add an extra splash of plant-based milk or cooking water.
-
Step 6
Serve immediately and, if you like, garnish with more chopped walnuts, grated cheese, and a touch of freshly ground pepper.
