Ingredients
 

Broccoli pesto

The pasta & walnuts

  • 1 box pasta of choice, 8 oz. (I used @eatbanza)
  • 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 tsp garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp dried sage or another herb!

Instructions

Broccoli pesto

  • Process it all in a small processor. Blend all but ~ 1/3 cup of pesto with 1/2 cup of pasta water.

The pasta & walnuts

  • Add olive oil to a small pan and saute crushed walnuts for a few min. Then add lemon zest and minced garlic.
  • When the walnuts are almost perfectly toasted, sprinkle in 1/2 tsp dried sage a minute before taking the pan off of the heat.
  • Pour the sauce over the pasta, combine well, and top with those walnuts!
