- Bring a large pot of water to a boil (make sure it's well salted with kosher salt). Add in the broccoli florets and stems (I used 12 ounces frozen broccoli here). You want the broccoli to be crisp tender, this should take about 3 to 4 minutes or so. Prepare a bowl of ice water to the side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked broccoli to the bowl of ice water. Then drain the broccoli well over a few paper towel sheets. Tip: Do not discard the cooking water, you will use it later for the past.
- Transfer the broccoli to the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade. Add 4 tablespoons of pine nuts, 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan, all the basil leaves (about 3 cups full), and zest and juice of 2 lemons. Run the processor for about 30 seconds to combine.Scrape the sides of the food processor. Cover and run the processor again, and while it's running, slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil from the top opening. Season with salt and pepper to taste
- Bring the same pot of water back to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions (mine took about 10 minutes or so). Reserve some of the pasta water before you drain it. Return the drained pasta to the pot over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 cup pasta water, 1 cup Parmesan cheese and stir to combine (about 1 minute). Your goal is to coat the pasta with the cheese. Remove from the heat.
- Off heat (this is very important), add about 1/2 of the broccoli pesto to the pot of pasta (you can add a bit more than 1/2 to your liking). Toss until very well combined.(Store the rest of the pesto in the freezer for later use).
