Alfredo Garcia

Broccoli Pasta

 In another large pot, add the oil & butter, on medium high heat, add in the shallot, celery & carrot, sauté for 5-7 minutes.

 Add in the spices & garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes.

 At this point, start cooking for your pasta for 2-3 minutes less than the package calls for.

 Add the broccoli to the cooked veggies, cook for about 7-10 minutes, mashing a bit as the broccoli starts to soften. You want some pieces to stay bigger & some smashed.

 Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the broccoli, mix to combine, SAVE some of the pasta water, add pasta water to help make the sauce.

 Mix in the lemon zest & juice towards the very end. Taste for seasoning & adjust if needed.
