Step 1

As you bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil, prepare the broccoli – chop roughly half of the broccoli into medium florets and set aside. Finely chop the remaining broccoli so it’s more like rice-texture.

Step 2

Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook according to the package instructions. 4 minutes before the pasta is done, add the broccoli florets to the pot to cook along with the pasta.

Step 3

Meanwhile in a large frying pan, melt the butter over a low heat. Once melted stir in the garlic, let it cook for 30 seconds then squeeze in the lemon juice and pour into a bowl or mug to set aside.

Step 4

Place the frying pan back onto the heat on medium and pour in the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the red onion and cook for 5 minutes just so it softens slightly. Add the riced broccoli, a pinch of salt and a few tablespoons of water. Cover the pan and cook, stirring ocasionally, for 7-10 minutes - until the broccoli is nice and soft.

Step 5

Drain the pasta and broccoli, reserving some of the pasta water, then add the pasta and broccoli to the frying pan with a splash of the cooking water and all the garlic butter. Stir together to coat. Divide between 2 bowls and top with grated parmesan and chopped basil leaves.
