Makes 3 servings
Active Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Step 1
Bring 2 pots full of salted water to a boil. Set the pasta by the stove, but don’t add it yet (it cooks quickly).
Step 2
Meanwhile, cut the broccoli into florets. Trim away the tough skin from the stem, and roughly chop the stem. Chop the pistachios. Crumble ⅔ cup of the ricotta salata.
Step 3
Add the broccoli to one pot of boiling water and blanch until very tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl. Add the pesto and stir, mashing gently to create a rugged sauce.
Step 4
Add the pasta to the second pot and cook until al dente, 4 to 5 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl with the broccoli. Add the ricotta salata and stir until coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Heap the pesto pasta into bowls. Squeeze generously with lemon, sprinkle with pistachios and chile flakes, if using, and serve warm.
