Instructions

GET PREPPED
1

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Chop the broccoli into 2 cm florets. Finely slice the brown onion. Peel and crush the garlic. Pick the basil leaves. Finely grate the Parmesan cheese.

COOK THE RIGATONI & BROCCOLI
2

Add the rigatoni (use suggested amount) to the saucepan of boiling water and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until 'al dente'. TIP: Be sure to add the correct amount of pasta in order for your dish to be perfectly balanced, just the way we planned it! In the last 2 minutes of the pasta cooking time, add the broccoli. Reserve 2 tbs of the pasta water and drain. Return the rigatoni and broccoli to the saucepan, drizzle with olive oil and stir through the reserved pasta water.

TOAST THE PINE NUTS
3

While the rigatoni is cooking, heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the pine nuts and toast, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to a small bowl.

COOK THE VEGGIES
4

Heat a good drizzle of olive oil in the same medium pan over a medium-high heat. Add the brown onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Stir in the baby spinach leaves and cook for 1 minute, or until wilted. Remove from the heat.

TOSS EVERYTHING TOGETHER
5

Transfer the spinach mixture to the saucepan with the rigatoni and broccoli and add the traditional pesto. Stir to combine.

SERVE UP
6

Divide the rigatoni between bowls. Top with the pine nuts, chilli flakes (if using), basil and the grated Parmesan cheese. TIP: Some like it hot but if you don't, just hold back on the chilli flakes.
