Lemon Broccoli and Bow-ties Pasta Recipe ~ Citrus Series

Did you plant broccoli this year? Perhaps you stocked up at a Farmer's Market? In any case, here is a delicious vegetarian recipe that my sister-in-law shared with me, which I would like to pass on to you. It also co-stars the lemon which makes it a perfect addition to our citrus series this winter.

If you love a quick dinner dish, this is it! The original recipe is from the "Barefoot Contessa" (you can find it here). We simply added more broccoli and used less pasta when we prepared ours. We also excluded the pine-nuts (too expensive) and utilize whatever pasta we have on hand (hence the spiral in this picture). The parmesan cheese, however, is a must in my humble opinion. Bon Appétit ladies!
