Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pound broccolini, thick stalks cut in half lengthwise
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons hazelnuts, toasted, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/4 pound penne (about scant 1 1/4 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place broccolini on large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss, then spread in even layer.
  • Roast broccolini until tender and golden brown around edges, tossing occasionally, about 18 minutes. Cool. Chop coarsely. DO AHEAD: Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
  • Mix hazelnuts, chopped parsley, finely grated lemon peel, and garlic in small bowl. DO AHEAD: Gremolata can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Cook pasta in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain; return to saucepan. Add broccolini and toss over medium heat to rewarm. Transfer to medium bowl. Add gremolata and remaining 1 tablespoon oil; toss to distribute evenly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

I'm not usually a fan of broccolini, but I really enjoyed it in this dish. The hazelnut gremolata was also a nice touch.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

Not a fan of the hazelnut gremolata. It was too overpowering for my taste.

Roasted Broccolini was a bit burnt, but hazelnut gremolata saved the day!
