Report

Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound penne or mini penne
- 3 bunches broccolini
- ¾ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or basil
Lemon Dressing
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Trim ends then cut broccolini into 2.5” lengths.
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil.
- Add broccolini and cook for 1 ½ minutes. Take them out of the hot water using tongs and transfer to a colander. Run under cold tap water to stop them from cooking further.
- Add pasta into the same pot of boiling water. Cook per package directions. Drain then rinse with water. Cool.
- Place dressing ingredients in a jar. Shake well.
- Place pasta in a very large bowl. Add broccolini, parsley, and parmesan cheese (start with ¾ cup, add more if you want). Drizzle with dressing and toss well. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature.
Notes
- Adjust salt and pepper at the end because the parmesan adds plenty of flavor and salt.
- Storage: Both the pasta and the dressing will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge, just toss well and serve at room temperature. It may benefit from a fresh grating of lemon zest and squeeze of lemon juice.
