“This creamy and hardy pasta is a tasty way to eat your veggies… and get some essential fatty acids (from the walnuts)”.

  • 300g pasta, penne
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 450g broccoli, cut into florets about 1/2inch across
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes, optional
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped
  • ¼ cup parmesan, grated

Cook pasta to packet instructions. Meanwhile start steaming the broccoli, if you don’t have a steamer, boil it in water. Steaming is tastier, as it retains all the flavour and vitamins in the broccoli. Toast the chopped walnuts by frying in a dry frying pan.

Fry the garlic and chili flakes in the 2 tablespoons of oil until golden. Add the steamed broccoli and the toasted walnuts, drizzle with 3 tablespoons of oil and stirfry until the broccoli has been browned slightly. Mix in the Pasta and stir in the Parmesan.
