I saw this recipe posted on The Lushers blog and knew I had to try it. It was delicious, light, simple, and a perfect spring pasta. I try to incorporate meatless meals into our weekly menus and this one fit the bill perfectly.
Ingredients:
1lb broccoli, cut into small florets
1lb dried linguine or fettuchine pasta, uncooked
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, zested, juiced & divided
8oz soft goat cheese
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves, roughly chopped, divided
Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
Grated Parmesan, for serving
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Add pasta. When the pasta is a few minutes shy of al dente, add the broccoli florets & cook until pasta is done. Scoop out 1 cup of cooking liquid and set aside. Drain pasta and broccoli.
Return the pasta and broccoli to the pot and add the olive oil, lemon juice, half of the zest and toss to coat. Add the goat cheese and half of the oregano. Turn the heat under the pot on low and toss the pasta to coat, adding the reserved pasta water as necessary to loosen the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
