Light lemon broccoli pasta

This may be a common one, but this is a cheap, easy pasta recipe that always pulls me out of the fire in a pinch.

1 package fresh linguini or fettuccine 1 lemon 4 garlic cloves 2 cups full fat Greek yogurt 1 onion Broccoli 2 tbsp butter Crushed walnuts (optional) Parmesan cheese

Boil the pasta water first. While water boilers I slice the onion lengthwise, I do not cube.

Olive oil in pan and I start on the onions for 7-10 minutes. I throw in a few cloves of roughly chopped garlic cloves about 5 minutes after I start onion.

After another 4-5 minutes I throw in my chopped broccoli. The broccoli really absorbs the oil so watch the pan and add oil as needed. I cook until onions are extremely soft and broccoli is a nice bright green.

Water boiling I add in the fresh pasta, it should only take 2-3 minutes to cook. I drain water and try to save a 1/2 cup of pasta water.

I add cooked onion, garlic and broccoli in pan with cooked pasta. Add pasta water a little bit at first. I then add lemons zest, 2 cups full fat Greek yogurt, and butter. I will also add the juice of about half the lemon.

Mix it up and plate. I usually will add some finely chopped walnuts to the top and Parmesan cheese. You can add the other half of the lemon if it’s suits you.

Hope you all get something out of this quick and easy recipe.
