Pasta With Broccoli And Pesto

Ingredients

12oz/350g pasta ribbons
12oz/350g broccoli, in tiny florets
3 Tbs. ready-made pesto sauce
2 Tbs. olive oil
salt and ground black pepper
2oz/50g Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

1) Cook pasta in lightly salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and reserve, keeping hot.

2) Meanwhile, lightly steam broccoli until it's just tender but still has bite. This prevents the florets from breaking up.

3) Heat pesto in a pan with oil. Add broccoli florets and mix together carefully. Season. Toss through hot pasta and divide between 4 serving plates. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan before serving.
