Broccoli pesto pasta

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to packet instructions.

Meanwhile, bring a smaller pot of salted water to the boil, add the broccoli and boil for 4 minutes. Drain and return it to the pot.

Lightly mash the broccoli with a potato masher or fork. Finely grate the garlic and zest the lemon, then mix into the broccoli with the chilli flakes and pine nuts. Cut the lemon in half and keep for later.

Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Stir in the broccoli pesto and squeeze over the juice of 1⁄2 lemon. Pour in the olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper. Spoon in the Parmesan, toss the pasta well and serve.
