While almonds are often confused with nuts, they're actually seeds of the almond tree (prunus dulcis). This makes almonds part of the stone fruit family, just like peaches and apricots!

Cooking Steps
- Boil plenty of salted water in a large pot or saucepan. Cut the head of the broccoli into small florets and finely dice the stem.
- Cook the pasta for 6 - 8 minutes, then add the broccoli and cook for 4 - 6 more minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the stock. Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
- Chop the fresh herbs, making sure to keep them separate.
- Melt a knob of butter in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic and onion for 2 minutes, then whisk in the flour.
- Pour in a third of the stock and whisk continuously to incorporate, then repeat twice more with the rest of the stock so as to make a smooth sauce.
- Bring to a boil, then allow to thicken and reduce for 1 - 2 minutes.
- Stir in the cream and oregano (see Tip). Allow to simmer until serving. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Melt a small knob of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the mince with the Sicilian-style herbs for 4 - 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Health Tip: if you're watching your calorie intake, substitute the cream for milk or stock and allow to simmer for more time.
- Roughly chop the almonds. Quarter the lemon.
- Transfer the pasta and broccoli to the sauce, then mix well to combine.
- Serve the pasta on deep plates. Top with the mince and garnish with the basil.
- For parents: garnish with the almonds and the pesto cheese cubes. Serve the lemon wedges alongside.
