Steps:
- Boil a large, salted pot of water. Cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. When the pasta is 2-3 minutes away from being done, you will add the broccoli to the water.
- Add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat, and once it's melted, stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- To the skillet, add in the garlic, broth, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Let it bubble for a minute or so.
- Whisk in the cream and let it cook for a few minutes until it's thickened up to your liking, then stir in the parmesan cheese and take the pan off the heat.
- Drain the pasta and broccoli and add it to the skillet. If the sauce has thickened up too much, add a small splash of the pasta water prior to draining it. Season the pasta with salt & pepper (I'm generous with both) as needed and serve immediately with extra parmesan grated on top if desired.

Steps:
- To make the lemon cashew-cream sauce, place the cashews in a medium heatproof bowl and cover with the boiling water. Allow to stand for 30 minutes. Drain the cashews well and place them in a blender. Add the stock, lemon juice, salt and pepper and blend until very smooth.
- Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 6 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook for a further 4 minutes or until the pasta is al dente and the broccoli is just tender. Drain the pasta and broccoli and immediately return to the warm saucepan. Add the cashew-cream sauce and toss to combine.
- Divide the pasta between serving bowls and top with the basil and lemon rind to serve.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut broccoli florets. You can also use frozen broccoli, but be sure to thaw it before cooking.
- If you don't have cashew butter, you can make your own by blending cashews in a food processor until smooth.
- To make the sauce creamier, add more cashew butter or milk.
- If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or basil.
Conclusion:
This pasta dish is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy broccoli. The lemon-cashew cream sauce is light and flavorful, and the broccoli adds a pop of color and nutrition. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
