Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons blanched hazelnuts
2 cups broccoli florets
1 (12 ounce) package farfalle pasta
1 ½ cups lightly packed fresh parsley leaves
½ cup fresh mint leaves
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 large cloves garlic, peeled
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ teaspoons capers, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast hazelnuts, shaking skillet often, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook broccoli in boiling water until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander with a slotted spoon. Bring water back to a boil and add farfalle; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop cooled hazelnuts. Place hazelnuts, broccoli, parsley, mint, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a food processor. Puree until smooth. Season pesto with salt and pepper.
  • Drain farfalle, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water. Toss farfalle with pesto, reserved cooking water, and capers until well coated.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but the flavors were still good. I think I would try using less salt next time.
