100g penne pasta (uncooked weight)
125g broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
Handful of walnuts, roughly chopped
75g blue cheese, such as gorgonzola, crumbled
1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Cook penne according to the directions on the packet. Two minutes before the end of the recommended cooking time, add the broccoli florets to the boiling water.
- While the pasta is cooking dry roast the walnuts in a frypan over a gentle heat for around 5 minutes (watch carefully and don’t let them burn!).
- Drain the pasta and broccoli, then return it to the pan and add the walnuts and most of the blue cheese (reserve some for serving).
- Stir gently over the heat, until the blue cheese has melted.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve topped with reserved blue cheese and lemon wedges.
