Lemony Bow Tie Pasta with Macadamias

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

350g bow tie / farfalle pasta

2 tsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 cups small broccoli florets

1x 400g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

3 Tbsp feta cheese, crumbled

80g FreshLife Macadamia nuts

1/4 tsp fresh black pepper, or more to taste

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

METHOD

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. When the water boils, add the pasta, and cook according to the packet instructions.

  • While the pasta is cooking, heat a large nonstick fry pan and gently toast the macadamia nuts until golden and fragrant. Remove and set aside.

  • Heat the olive oil gently in the same pan and cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes.

  • Increase the heat to medium, add the broccoli and cook for about 5 minutes. If the pan seems too dry, add a couple of spoonfuls of the pasta water.

  • Stir in the cannellini beans, lemon zest and juice, ¼ cup pasta water, feta cheese, and toasted macadamia nuts.

  • Stir gently, to bring everything together, add the cooked and drained pasta and cook for 1-2 minutes, to heat through. Add more pasta water little by little if the sauce is too dry. Season to taste with black pepper.

  • Top each serving with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
