Instructions

Step 1
Cook the penne in boiling water according to the packet instructions. In another pan, blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water.
Step 2
Whizz the broccoli, basil, parsley, hazelnuts and 5 ml olive oil in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the cheese and 60–75 ml pasta water to loosen, then pulse and season.
Step 3
Drain the pasta, return to its pan and stir in the broccoli pesto to coat.
Step 4
Heat the remaining 10 ml olive oil in a frying pan. Stir-fry the garlic and chilli over high heat for 1 minute until softened and lightly browned.
Step 5
Divide the pasta between 2 bowls. Spoon the garlic and chilli over and add extra cheese shavings if desired.
