Preparation

• Step 1 place half of the olive oil into a non-sticky frying pan over medium heat & fry the broccoli rice 3-4 mins – make sure it keeps it vibrant green colour. Set aside.
• Step 2 make the pesto – mix the other half of the olive oil, parmesan (keep some for topping), mint, basil & parsley, pine nuts, lemon zest & juice (you can use the moulinex available at the house for this).
• Step 3 cook the pasta in a large pot & preserve ½ cup of the cooking liquid before draining it.
• Step 4 – combine all the ingredients in the large pot – pasta, some cooking liquid, pesto & cooked broccoli – add extra liquid if needed – top off with parmesan & your favourite toppings!
