20 Minute Lemon Broccoli Pasta Skillet

This super easy broccoli pasta recipe is a quick meal for a busy night! The veggies keep it healthy, and the garlic, lemon, and red pepper make it extra tasty making it one of my favorite quick pasta dishes.

THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 3 quarts water
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 and 1/2 to 2 pounds fresh broccoli
• 1 pound rotini pasta
• 3-4 cups spinach
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
• 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 cup fresh Parmesan, plus more to garnish
• Olive oil, to garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh lemon wedges, to garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large skillet or pot, bring the salt and water to a boil.
2. While you wait, prep your broccoli by trimming the stems and cutting the florets into similar sized pieces (I like mine bite-size.)
3. Add the rotini and boil on high for 4 minutes. Add the broccoli, cover, and set a timer for 3 minutes (Leave the burner on high enough to keep a rolling boil).
