Best 5 Roasted Broccoli And Pecan Pasta Recipes

ROASTED BROCCOLI AND PECAN PASTA

Steps:

• preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, pour olive oil over broccoli florets. Mix with hands to coat well.
• Add pecans to bowl and mix to coat as well.
• Empty bowl onto a baking sheet.
• Roast the broccoli and walnuts in the oven until the broccoli is browned nicely. ( I don't have an exact time, I apologize! Just keep an eye on it! don't let it burn ).

• After you remove it from the over, season with salt and pepper.

BROCCOLI WITH PECAN BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat and add the broccoli. Blanch until tender-crisp and bright green, about 3 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and pecans, and saute until the shallots and garlic are tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep stirring until the butter begins to brown, another 3 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes and the broccoli. Using tongs, toss the broccoli with the butter and pecans. Cook, while tossing, until the broccoli is heated through, about 5 to 6 more minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

CAVATAPPI WITH ROASTED BROCCOLI AND PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Spread out broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons olive oil. Shift broccoli florets around so they are lightly coated with oil. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Roast in the preheated oven until broccoli begins to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
• Remove roasted broccoli from oven and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice until all florets are lightly coated. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese to taste.
• Drain cooked pasta and return to the pot. Keep stove on low heat and mix in pesto. Add roasted broccoli and mix until well combined. Serve pasta in bowls with extra Parmesan cheese.
