Directions

Steam the broccoli for 3 minutes or until fork tender.

Transfer the broccoli into iced water to stop cooking.

Drain well, add into a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Drain well and add to the broccoli.

While the pasta is cooking, in a small nonstick skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium heat.

Add the garlic and lemon zest, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Stir in the lemon juice into the skillet, and pour the mixture over the broccoli and pasta.

Toss gently until well coated and distributed.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Top with toasted nuts and parmesan if you like.
