JUICY PESTO PASTA!
Recipe video above. This is how to make a great pesto pasta that's slick with pesto sauce without adding tons and tons of oil which makes it overly oily. The secret is using the pasta cooking water - it emulsifies with the oil in the pesto which makes it cling to every strand of pasta. A technique used in every Italian household! Make this with homemade pesto for the best flavour.

- Bring a pot of water to rolling boil. Season with salt. Add pasta and cook as per package directions. While pasta is cooking, heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a saute pan. When oil is hot, add onion strings and cook until brown and caramelized (about 4-5 minutes). Drain on paper towel and set aside.
- Wipe excess oil from the saute pan, and keep heat on. (Since pesto already has oil, I don't use additional oil to cook pesto.) Add pesto and heat until warm through (about 2-3 minutes). Don't cook for long or pesto turns very dark and does not taste fresh.
- Add cooked pasta, half of the parmesan cheese, then coat pasta in the pesto-cream sauce gently.

- Cook pasta as per package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, draining the rest. Set aside.
- While pasta is cooking, get all ingredients ready. Preheat large deep skillet or a dutch oven on medium heat, add olive oil and garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
- Add 1 tbsp pesto, tomatoes and stir. Cook for 1 - 2 minutes, stir and cook another 1 - 2 minutes. Move to one side of the skillet and make sure the empty side of is positioned directly over heat. Add 1 tbsp pesto and broccoli, stir and cook for 4 minutes, stirring once.
- Remove skillet from heat and add remaining 1/4 cup pesto, sun dried tomatoes, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, pasta and pasta water. Stir gently and let flavours marinate for a few minutes. Do not cover because broccoli will become a mushy mess. I also like to add half Parmesan cheese in this step and the other half right before serving. Serve hot.
