Comment préparer Lemon Fusilli With Arugula

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds, until fragrant.
Stir in the zest of 2 lemons, the juice of 2 lemons, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the lemon sauce simmers, prepare the broccoli: cut the head into florets and discard the stem.
Cook broccoli florets in a pot of boiling salted water for 3-5 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Drain the broccoli and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Cook fusilli pasta according to package directions in a large pot of boiling salted water (about 12 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Once cooked, drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
Add the lemon mixture to the cooked pasta and cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until most of the sauce is absorbed.
Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl.
Add the arugula, halved cherry or grape tomatoes, and cooked broccoli to the bowl.
Slice the remaining lemon into 1/4-inch thick rounds and add to the pasta.
Toss everything together gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot. Optional: Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
