Cooking Steps

Boil the pasta
1
  • Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan. Cut the head of the broccoli into florets and dice the stem. 
  • Cook the broccoli for 5 - 7 minutes until done, then remove from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • In the same pot, boil the pasta for 11 - 13 minutes.
  • Reserve at least 50ml pasta water per person, then drain and set aside.
Toast the pumpkin seeds
2
  • Chop the shallot and crush or mince the garlic. Finely dice the courgette.
  • Heat a clean deep frying pan over high heat and toast the pumpkin seeds until they start to pop, then remove from the pan and set aside. 
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the shallot with the garlic for 1 - 2 minutes.
Make the sauce
3
  • Add the courgette and half of the broccoli and fry for 3 - 4 more minutes. 
  • Transfer the contents of the pan to a tall container and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add the cream and the reserved pasta water, then use an immersion blender to process into a smooth sauce.
Prepare the toppings
4
  • Transfer the sauce to the same pan. Add the pesto, half of the pecorino and the rest of the broccoli.
  • Crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount). Mix well, then allow to reduce for 2 - 3 minutes over a low heat.
  • Meanwhile, chop the basil into ribbons.
  • Zest the lemon and then cut it into wedges. 
Finish
5
  • Transfer the pasta to the sauce and mix well to combine, adding an extra splash of pasta water as necessary if the sauce seems too thick.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in half of the basil.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6
  • Serve the pasta on plates. Garnish with the pumpkin seeds and the lemon zest, along with the rest of the pecorino and basil.
  • Serve the lemon wedges alongside.
