Ingredients:
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 (8 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets (can use frozen broccoli)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Step 1: Warm olive oil in a small frying pan over low heat. Slowly cook garlic in oil until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Be very careful not to burn garlic. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water. About 5 minutes before pasta is done, drop broccoli into the pasta water. Continue to cook until pasta is cooked and broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain.
Step 3: Toss pasta, broccoli, and lemon sauce in a large bowl. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
