EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT
The Best Broccoli Pesto Pasta
Hoping for More Fun in the Sun
INGREDIENTS
Summer is my favorite time of year! I was born in June, and I am a summer and beach baby at heart.

1/2 tsp salt
• •
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
4 cups broccoli 1 lb penne pasta 2 cups basil leaves
We recently moved and are now closer than ever to the shore, which my family and I love. My children love to run in the surf, build sand castles, and chase the seagulls if they get close enough. They’re always begging to go to the beach! One of our favorite activities is to walk the beach and collect seashells or sea glass. The kids love to see all the different shapes and colors. Once we get home, we clean them up and put them in a big glass container so they can see them all the time.
2 garlic cloves, smashed 1/4 cup pine nuts, plus more for serving
•
Red pepper flakes (optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. 2. Add broccoli and cook until tender (around 4 minutes). Using a slotted spoon, transfer broccoli to a blender. 3. Bring water back to a boil and add pasta. Cook until al dente and reserve 1 1/4 cups of pasta water. 4. In the blender, add basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, salt, and Parmesan cheese to the broccoli and blend until smooth. Slowly add pasta water until a sauce forms. 5. Drain pasta and transfer back to the pot. Mix sauce and pasta together until fully coated. 6. Top with more Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and chili flakes if desired.
Unfortunately, we have had a typical New England spring where it is 90 degrees one day and 50 the next, so we have not made it out to the water too many times yet. We hope this changes soon so we can have more fun in the sun!
