Spicy Broccoli Pasta

Time: 5 minutes prep; 14 minutes in the Thermomix

Yield: 2

The perfect quick meal for two; boil the pasta while you make the sauce in the Thermomix and you’ll have dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes. Our star ingredient, broccoli, forms the bulk of the sauce, enhanced with chilli, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and cheese—it’s a winning combination. Finished with toasted pine nuts for creaminess and crunch, there’s nothing unsophisticated about this simple dish.
