Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the pasta into the pot, and cook for about 10 minutes or until achieves the desired consistency.
When the pasta is close to the end, about 3 minutes left, stir in the broccoli.
Once it's done, drain both broccoli and pasta.
Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, toss together sunflower seeds, sundried tomatoes, oil, garlic, toasted walnuts, parmesan cheese and basil until well combined.
Add drained broccoli and pasta into mixture.
Gently toss until well mixed. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve or chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
