Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Faire bouillir l'eau

    Remplis la casserole d'eau à moitié et porte à ébullition à feu vif. Ajoute une pincée de sel.

  2. Cuire les pâtes

    Plonge les pâtes dans l'eau bouillante et laisse cuire 8 à 10 min à feu moyen, jusqu'à ce qu'elles soient al dente. Égoutte sans rincer.

  3. Préparer le brocoli

    Lave le brocoli, coupe-le en petits bouquets et détache les tiges. Épluche légèrement les tiges si elles sont épaisses.

    Tip · Pour gagner du temps, coupe le brocoli pendant que l'eau chauffe.

  4. Cuire le brocoli

    Dans la poêle, fais chauffer l'huile à feu moyen. Ajoute le brocoli et fais revenir 5 min en remuant, jusqu'à ce qu'il soit tendre mais encore croquant.

  5. Zester le citron

    Râpe finement le zeste du citron dans un bol. Presse le citron pour en extraire le jus.

  6. Mélanger tout

    Ajoute les pâtes égouttées et le jus de citron dans la poêle avec le brocoli. Mélange bien. Répartis le zeste et la moitié du parmesan sur le dessus.

    Tip · Si tu aimes le croquant, ajoute le zeste de citron en fin de cuisson pour préserver son arôme.

  7. Servir

    Poivre généreusement et saupoudre avec le reste du parmesan. Servez immédiatement.
