Directions

Step 1. 

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the broccoli florets on a baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season all over with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, or until golden and slightly charred.


Step 2. 

While the broccoli is roasting, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the directions. Remember to reserve your pasta water!


Step 3. 

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the goat cheese. It will take a few minutes for it to become creamy. Add a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the lemon juice and ½ cup of reserved pasta water until the sauce is smooth and silky. You can add a bit more pasta water if you find it needs to be thinner or smoother! This will all depend on the brand of your cheese. Taste the mixture and add more salt and pepper if needed.


Step 4. 

Add in the pasta and toss well to coat in the cheese mixture. Toss in the roasted broccoli.  Top with crushed red pepper flakes and serve! Sprinkle with parmesan.




Customer Reviews

  1. Broccoli and goat cheese pasta

    This recipe with the goat cheese and broccoli with the pasta was delicious. I added some slivers of fresh red bell pepper to the broccoli in the roasting stage. This gave it a bit of color and really added to the dish.
