This 15 minute Lemon Broccoli Pasta is packed with flavor from garlic, fresh lemon, and Parmesan cheese! It's super easy to make, full of flavor, and easily customizable with added protein and veggies.
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli. Drain and set aside. Reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in pasta, broccoli, and Parmesan cheese. Add the pasta water a few tablespoons at a time, stirring until a thin sauce forms. The pasta should have a light shine. Season well with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Serve with extra fresh lemon juice, Parmesan, and fresh herbs if desired.
