Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 baguette, cubed (3 cups)
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (1 ounce), plus more for serving
Salt and pepper
3/4 pound medium pasta shells
1 bunch broccoli, cut into small florets, stalks peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together bread, 1 tablespoon oil, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden and toasted, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 2 minutes less than package instructions; add broccoli and cook 2 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  • Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil and garlic to pot and cook until garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pasta mixture; toss to combine, adding enough pasta water to create a light sauce that coats pasta. To serve, sprinkle with croutons, lemon zest, and additional Parmesan if desired.

I'm not a fan of broccoli, but this dish was surprisingly good. The parmesan croutons were the perfect addition.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more garlic and pepper next time.
