BROCCOLI-AND-HAZELNUT-PESTO PASTA
Prep this easy plant-based pasta that's delicious at room temp, and you're one gingham blanket away from a picnic. A broccoli-hazelnut pesto comes together in seconds thanks to a food processor, and the starchy pasta water mixed in at the end helps to create a silky sauce.

Steps:
- Cook broccoli in a large pot of salted boiling water until bright green and tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a plate; let cool slightly. Put half of broccoli in the bowl of a food processor with hazelnuts, basil, garlic, Parmigiano, ricotta, and lemon zest and juice. Pulse to combine. With machine running, stream in oil. Season with salt and pepper. (You should have 1 3/4 cups.)
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in pot until al dente per package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain. Return pasta to pot, along with pesto. Add pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, to create a silky sauce. Stir in remaining broccoli; season to taste. Serve with more Parmigiano, chopped hazelnuts, and basil.
