Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
12 ounces long fusilli pasta (or regular fusilli)
2 bunches broccolini (about 1 pound), trimmed and roughly chopped
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 red jalapeno pepper, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
2 15.5-ounce cans butter beans, drained and rinsed
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup grated pecorino romano or parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 cup halved bocconcini or pearl mozzarella balls (8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs, adding the broccolini during the last 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add the beans, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans start to crisp, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and broccolini to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water and the pecorino. Cook, stirring, until the pasta is coated, adding more of the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen; season with salt and pepper. Top each serving with the mozzarella and more grated pecorino; drizzle with olive oil.

The broccolini was a bit too tough for my liking. I would recommend cooking it for a few minutes less.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some additional seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the broccolini and beans, and they even asked for seconds.

I found that the pasta absorbed a lot of the cooking liquid, so I had to add a little extra water to the pan. Other than that, the recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great.

The lemon zest and Parmesan cheese really make this dish. I highly recommend not skipping these ingredients.

I'm not usually a fan of broccolini, but this recipe changed my mind. The broccolini was cooked perfectly and had a slightly charred flavor that I really enjoyed.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The flavors of the broccolini, beans, and fusilli pasta came together perfectly. I especially loved the addition of the lemon zest and Parmesan cheese, which really brightened up the dish.
