Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Combine broccoli and pine nuts in a baking dish. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and lemon-pepper seasoning; toss to coat.
- Bake in the preheated oven, removing every 5 minutes to stir, until broccoli is tender but still firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Drain pasta, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Mix cooking liquid with soup base in a small bowl; set aside. Return pasta to the pot.
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt. Cook, stirring often until some of the liquid has reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add broccoli mixture, 2 tablespoons olive oil, butter, and balsamic vinegar; stir to combine.
- Transfer the entire vegetable mixture to the pasta pot. Add bouillon water, stir thoroughly, and serve immediately.

LINGUINE WITH CHICKPEAS, BROCCOLI AND RICOTTA
The broiler is an unsung kitchen hero because it imparts a flavorful char in half the time that grilling takes. In this 20-minute recipe, kale, broccoli and chickpeas crisp under the broiler while the pasta water boils. Make sure to spread out the vegetables and chickpeas so they have room to caramelize properly instead of steaming (the more crunchy bits, the better). Finish by tossing the pasta and vegetables with a quick sauce of butter, lemon zest and fresh ricotta, a rich and creamy complement to the charred vegetables. Enjoy with crusty bread, good wine and a sense of accomplishment - you just got dinner on the table in under a half hour.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, and drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat the broiler and set a rack roughly 8 inches from the heat source. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, chickpeas, garlic, red-pepper flakes and 1/3 cup oil until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper. Spread out evenly on one sheet pan. Add the kale to the same bowl, and toss to coat in any residual oil. Drizzle with more oil as needed and toss to coat evenly. Spread out in an even layer on the second sheet pan.
- Working with 1 sheet pan at a time, broil the broccoli and chickpeas, tossing halfway through cooking, until the chickpeas are toasty and the broccoli is tender and charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Broil the kale until just charred and crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Zest the lemon, halve it, then cut 1 half into 4 wedges. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the roasted vegetables and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Return the pasta to the pot. Add the 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking water, the ricotta, butter and lemon zest and toss until well combined. Add the roasted vegetables and toss, adding more pasta water as needed.
- Divide among four bowls. Season with flaky sea salt and pepper, and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top. Drizzle with more oil, if desired.

BROCCOLI PESTO LINGUINI
I threw this together to go with Recipe #114088 tonight for dinner. For the 1 cup pesto, I used 1 .5 ounce packet of Knorr Pesto Sauce Mix, prepared according to the package directions I don't know how it would taste with pesto made with fresh basil, as the packet really doesn't make a very strong flavored pesto. This dish worked well for us, and even my daughter who doesn't normally eat cooked broccoli loved it. Prep time is for making the Knorr Pesto, and trimming the broccoli.

Steps:
- Add the salt and olive oil to the boiling water.
- Cook the linguini according to the package directions, adding the broccoli to the water the last 5-7 minutes of cooking time. (5 minutes if you want the broccoli to hold together, 7 minutes if you'd like the broccoli softer, so it breaks up and incorporates itself throughout the dish).
- Before draining, ladle about 1/2 cup of the cooking water into the prepared pesto.
- Drain the pasta and broccoli. Return to the kettle, and add the pesto. Stir to combine.
- Add half of the parmaesan cheese. Stir to incorporate. Add the remaining cheese, and stir together.
- Use tongs to serve. This is a great side dish for any herbed chicken dish.
