Broccoli Pesto Pasta

Directions

1. 1

   Boil the broccoli for 4-5 minutes until tender.

2. 2

   Meanwhile blend the garlic, pine nuts, parmesan, olive oil, lemon juice and basil until smooth.

3. 3

   Scoop out the broccoli from the water and set aside.

4. 4

   Bring the water back to a boil and cook your pasta, you can also throw some peas in there for extra greens and protein.

5. 5

   Add 3/4s of the broccoli to the pesto and blend until smooth. Add a little pasta water or extra olive oil to thin if needed.

6. 6

   Mix the pesto with your cooked pasta and top with the remaining broccoli (great to encourage self-feeding for babies). For adults I like to add extra parmesan, salt, pepper and some chilli flakes
