Today we show you a dish for lovers of healthy eating. Is a pasta, in this case whole wheat, with broccoli and nuts in the form of pesto.

In the explanation of the recipe you will see that the broccoli We will steam it, in the varoma, but you can cook it in a saucepan, if you prefer. If you already have it cooked because you have left over from a previous preparation, preparing this recipe will only take you the time it takes to cook the pasta, because making the pesto with the already cooked broccoli is a matter of seconds.

The touch of color is given by those dried tomatoes that also provide a lot of flavor to a pasta dish as simple as healthy.

Ingredients

  • 300 g of broccoli (traditional or Roman, whichever we like the most)
  • 30 g parmesan
  • 30 g walnuts
  • 10 g pine nuts
  • 10 g parsley
  • 70 g of extra virgin olive oil
  • 320 g of dry pasta (type helices or whatever you like the most)
  • Two dried tomatoes

Plus:

  • A few flakes of Parmesan
  • Fresh oregano

Preparation

  1. We wash and cut the broccoli into florets. We place them in varoma. We fill the glass with water up to the ½ liter mark, we place the varoma in its position making sure that it is well closed. We program 20 minutes, varoma temperature, speed 2.

  2. We put plenty of water in a saucepan to cook our pasta. When the water boils and there are a few minutes for the broccoli to be done, put the pasta in our saucepan and cook it for the time indicated by the manufacturer.

  3. We remove the varoma and discard the water. We rinse and dry the glass well.

  4. We put the cooked broccoli in the glass together with the parmesan in pieces, the walnuts, the pine nuts and the parsley. We grind in progressive speed 5-9.

  5. Add the oil and salt that we consider necessary and mix everything for a few seconds.

  6. When the pasta is cooked we take it out, without draining it too much, and put it in a large bowl. We put our broccoli pesto on it and the dried tomatoes in pieces and mix well. Add a little cooking water to the pasta until it is the way we like it.

  7. Serve with a few slices of Parmesan on the surface and with a few leaves of fresh oregano.

Notes

We can substitute part of the oil for cooking water for the pasta if we want it to be a less caloric dish.
