A delightful pasta dish featuring a creamy broccoli and lemon sauce, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the oil and maintain its flavor.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the broccoli florets. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Cover the saucepan to cook the broccoli faster and retain its nutrients.
Transfer the mixture to a blender, add the lemon juice and parmesan cheese, and blend until smooth.
Blend in batches if necessary to avoid overfilling the blender.
Cook the pasta according to package instructions, then drain.
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Combine the pasta with the sauce, mixing well to coat evenly.
Toss the pasta gently to avoid breaking it.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with freshly ground black pepper and a sprinkle of sea salt.
Add extra parmesan on top for a richer flavor.
