1 head broccoli
•

2 tablespoons olive oil
•

salt, to taste
•

pepper, to taste

•

3 ½ cups dried rigatoni pasta
•

2 cups sun-dried tomatoes
•

⅔ cup fresh pesto

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Separate the head of broccoli into individual florets, then toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, until tender.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook for 8-10 minutes, until al dente, then drain, saving some of the pasta water.
Place the pasta back in the pot with about 50ml (¼ cup) of the pasta water.
On a low heat, add the sun-dried tomatoes, broccoli, pesto, and Parmesan and stir until combined and the cheese has melted.
Enjoy!
