Step 1

Fill a large pot with water. Place on the stove and turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Place colander in the sink.

Step 2

Meanwhile, drain the feta (if in water) and crumble about 2 cups into a very large bowl. Wash and dry the outside of the lemon and grate the zest directly into the bowl. Add the oregano, red pepper, and black pepper (about 12 turns on a pepper mill).

Step 3

Place a small skillet on the stove and add the almonds. Turn the heat to medium. Stir or shake the almonds often (so they cook evenly) until toasted and fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 4

When the water comes to a boil, add the pasta. Set the timer for 3 minutes less than the package directions call for. When the timer goes off, open the bag of frozen broccoli and add two handfuls of broccoli to the pot and cook together until broccoli is tender and pasta is al dente, 3 minutes more. Drain everything into the colander and add immediately to the large bowl. Sprinkle in the toasted almonds and combine with the ingredients on the bottom. Drizzle in the oil and toss once or twice more. Season with salt to taste.
