Linguini with Roasted Broccoli Pesto image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 large head broccoli, trimmed and chopped
½ cup pine nuts, chopped
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
5 cloves garlic, crushed
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil , divided
2 tablespoons lemon-pepper seasoning
½ teaspoon chicken soup base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 dash balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Combine broccoli and pine nuts in a baking dish. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and lemon-pepper seasoning; toss to coat.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, removing every 5 minutes to stir, until broccoli is tender but still firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Drain pasta, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Mix cooking liquid with soup base in a small bowl; set aside. Return pasta to the pot.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt. Cook, stirring often until some of the liquid has reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add broccoli mixture, 2 tablespoons olive oil, butter, and balsamic vinegar; stir to combine.
  • Transfer the entire vegetable mixture to the pasta pot. Add bouillon water, stir thoroughly, and serve immediately.

I'm allergic to pine nuts. Can I substitute another nut in the pesto?

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a food processor. Do you have any suggestions for how I could make the pesto without one?

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I really enjoyed this dish. The pesto was so good that it made me forget all about the broccoli.

The pesto was a bit too oily for my taste, but otherwise this dish was really good. The roasted broccoli was especially delicious.

This linguini with roasted broccoli pesto was an absolute delight! The broccoli was perfectly roasted, with a slight char that added a wonderful depth of flavor. The pesto was creamy and flavorful, with a nice balance of basil, garlic, and pine nuts.
