BROCCOLI-WALNUT PESTO WITH PASTA
Low in cholesterol and high in vitamins, broccoli packs this pesto with extra nutritional value. Using walnuts instead of the traditional pine nuts is less expensive, subtracts calories and adds fiber. Serve over whole wheat pasta, or try brown rice pasta for a gluten-free option.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the nuts out on a small baking pan and toast lightly, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Pulse together 1/4 cup of the walnuts and the garlic in a food processor; add the broccoli, basil, broth, nutmeg, red pepper flakes if using, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the lemon juice, and pulse until just combined. Slowly drizzle in the oil through the feed tube with the processor running and puree until a slightly chunky sauce forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add 2 tablespoons of the cheese and pulse until incorporated.
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Toss the pasta with the pesto in the dry pot or a mixing bowl, along with some of the reserved cooking liquid. Add the remaining cooking liquid if needed and additional salt to taste.
- Transfer the pasta to individual bowls and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon cheese. Chop the remaining walnuts and scatter on top. Garnish with basil leaves and serve.

LINGUINI WITH ROASTED BROCCOLI PESTO
This pasta was an effort to use up the rest of the veggies on hand, and turned out to be kind of amazing. Roasting the veggies in the oven makes all the difference for the pesto.

BROCCOLI PESTO LINGUINI
I threw this together to go with Recipe #114088 tonight for dinner. For the 1 cup pesto, I used 1 .5 ounce packet of Knorr Pesto Sauce Mix, prepared according to the package directions I don't know how it would taste with pesto made with fresh basil, as the packet really doesn't make a very strong flavored pesto. This dish worked well for us, and even my daughter who doesn't normally eat cooked broccoli loved it. Prep time is for making the Knorr Pesto, and trimming the broccoli.

Steps:
- Add the salt and olive oil to the boiling water.
- Cook the linguini according to the package directions, adding the broccoli to the water the last 5-7 minutes of cooking time. (5 minutes if you want the broccoli to hold together, 7 minutes if you'd like the broccoli softer, so it breaks up and incorporates itself throughout the dish).
- Before draining, ladle about 1/2 cup of the cooking water into the prepared pesto.
- Drain the pasta and broccoli. Return to the kettle, and add the pesto. Stir to combine.
- Add half of the parmaesan cheese. Stir to incorporate. Add the remaining cheese, and stir together.
- Use tongs to serve. This is a great side dish for any herbed chicken dish.

BROCCOLI-WALNUT PESTO PASTA
Pesto becomes more full-bodied with the addition of broccoli that's blanched in the same pot as the pasta and fresher with the combination of mint and lemon. For a sauce that's light and loose, use only the florets - not the stems. Raw walnuts have a welcome natural sweetness and nice crunch that complement the pesto, but you can leave them out or substitute sunflower seeds if you have a tree-nut allergy.

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1/4 cup salt, then add the broccoli. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and just tender, about 5 minutes. Use a spider or slotted spoon to transfer to a food processor; keep the water boiling.
- Drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook according to the package's directions for al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.
- Meanwhile, add the garlic to the broccoli and pulse, scraping the bowl occasionally, until smooth. Add the mint, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pulse until smooth, then add the oil with the machine running.
- Drain the pasta well and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the pesto. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and toss until the pasta is evenly coated. If the mixture seems thick, fold in the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time. The mixture will thicken as it cools, so you want it to be saucy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide among serving dishes and top with lemon zest, then grate cheese over. Sprinkle with the walnuts, grind more black pepper on top, then drizzle with olive oil. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
