Step 1
Fill a large pot of water, sprinkle of salt and set to boil. Once boiled, add the chopped broccoli. Cook for 5minutes until medium cooked. Remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 2
Add broccolini to the same water and cook for 3minutes (so it still has a crunch). With a slotted spoon remove broccolini and aside.
Step 3
Return water to boil, and once it has, add 250g of pasta. Stir and add 1tb EVOO to prevent from sticking together. Cook until al-dente (5-6minutes depending on the pasta – check the packet)
Step 4
Add EVOO into a pan and cook garlic and chilli. Cook until garlic and chilli have browned.
Step 5
In a food processor, add broccoli, garlic, chilli and EVOO from pan, as well as Pecorino. Blend until all combined.
** (optional) for a more soup-like consistency, add between 1-5tbs of boiled water (until you reach your desired texture) from the pasta into the food processor.
Step 6
Once pasta is cooked, drain water and keep the pasta in the pot. Add the broccoli mixture to the pot and stir to combine. Add the broccolini as well. Finish off with shaved Pecorino.
Wa-la! Enjoy this simple and delicious meal, well suited for a week-night dinner!
