Very simple yet delicious! Fairly healthy and quick and easy to make and incorporate into a dinner rotation. Would make again!
Making tonight – no doubt will love it. I am going to add 2 tbs of finely chopped parsley. I’m not a chef but saw this in another recipe – hopefully the lemon and parsley go together.
It was easy to make and so delicious!!
I paired this with chicken on the side and I added some red pepper flakes and used penne, fresh lemon juice and fresh parm instead of bagged. It was amazing!
Excellent, easy recipe! To make it a main course, while the pasta and broccoli was cooking, I sautéed mushrooms in a little olive oil and combined them with the broccoli, pasta, sauce at the end. Then I topped it with roasted shrimp (drizzle with with olive oil and roast 6-8 min at 400 for large shrimp) lemon zest, and cheese. ❤️
First time making it. Loved it! Next time I will add shrimp. It was delish and easy. Came out perfect!!
Very good . Light and fresh tasting . The broccoli only needs about 3 minutes to cook.
Will make again…luv the lemon pepper garlic flavor.
I made it as the recipe is other than I added some mushrooms to the garlic and olive oil. It was very bland, not much flavor. I had grilled chicken strips and some homemade white sauce on the side to make it more of a meal. It helped some but it wasn’t my favorite recipe. I won’t make it again
So easy. It was perfect with some leftover quinoa pasta I had. I mixed all the ingredients then tossed them all in the same pan.
Super easy and nice and light. I used Gluten free spaghetti added some snap peas and mushrooms and a couple extra cloves of garlic. served with garlic bread and a perfect dinner.
Loved the flavors, and I’m a pasta and fresh broccoli snob. Suggestions: up the pasta, garlic, and broccoli by 50%. One caution: focus carefully on not overcooking the broccoli.If anything, undercook it – perhaps 4-5min tops. Having it sparkling green & fresh was the bomb, with the lemon juice adding brightness & pizazz. Bravo!
Love it nice and simple
I added some shrimp and goat cheese to help make it a full meal. I think the review that says to do half butter and half olive oil is interesting. I would like to try that next time. Next time I would like to use feta cheese instead since the goat cheese wasn’t a strong enough taste.
Very tasty! Used more lemon juice and added grilled chicken. Great summer dish.
It was really easy to make and good!!
I enjoyed making this dish. The only thing I added was lemon rind and extra lemon. I also used very good parmesan cheese with a wonderful flavor and chili flakes. I made this for 30 people and they came back for seconds. Wonderful
This recipe was amazing but you can sub the noodles for any noodles!!! I recommend this recipe on days you need a dinner but do not know what to make also 8 ounces is not enough I used 16 ounces!!!=)
Excellent !!! Add more garlic and lemon No salt add we don’t use it.
