Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 small heads broccoli, cut into florets
¼ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 lb fettuccine
1 cup hummus
1 lemon lemon zest
1 lemon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup basil, chopped, plus more for serving
¼ cup parsley, chopped, plus more for serving
1 pinch red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450ºF (230˚C).
  • Place the broccoli florets on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until lightly charred.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Before draining through a colander, reserve 1 cup (240 ml) of the pasta water.
  • Return the pasta to the pot.
  • Add the hummus, ½ cup (120 ml) of the pasta cooking water, lemon zest, lemon juice, butter, and Parmesan and toss until a creamy sauce forms. Thin the sauce with more pasta cooking water, a little at a time, as needed.
  • Add the basil, parsley, red pepper flakes, and remaining reserved water.
  • Add the broccoli to the pasta, and toss gently with salt, and pepper. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan, basil and parsley on top.
  • Enjoy!
