Ingredients:

• 150g penne

• 2 garlic cloves, crushed

• 1 Tbsp roughly chopped walnuts

• Pinch of chili flakes

• ½ lemon, zested and juiced

Directions:

1. Heat the grill to high. Put the broccoli on a baking tray and drizzle over 1 tsp of the oil. Season, and toss together. Grill for 8-10 minutes, tossing around halfway through, until crispy and charred.

2. Cook the pasta in salted water following pack instructions. Drain, reserving a cup of the cooking water.

3. In a frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tsp oil over a medium heat, and fry the garlic, walnuts and chili for 3-4 minutes until golden.

4. Reserve a little of the lemon zest. Add a splash of the reserved cooking water and toss everything together to coat the pasta. Serve in warmed bowls with the remaining lemon zest scattered over.
