Bow Tie Pasta with Broccoli, Garlic, and Lemon

Pasta tossed with a garlic & lemon sauce. So simple, yet so delicious.

Ingredients :

• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (8 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions :

1. Warm olive oil in a small frying pan over low heat. Slowly cook garlic in oil until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Be very careful not to burn garlic. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
2. Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water. About 5 minutes before pasta is done, drop broccoli into the pasta water. Continue to cook until pasta is cooked and broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain.
3. Toss pasta, broccoli, and lemon sauce in a large bowl. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
