Ingredients

8 servings

1 pound penne (or mini penne)
3 bunch es broccolini
¾ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (or basil)
2 teaspoons lemon zest
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 clove garlic (minced)
salt and black pepper

Steps

Trim ends then cut broccolini into 2.5” lengths.
Bring a large pot of water to the boil.
Add broccolini and cook for 1 ½ minutes. Take them out of the hot water using tongs and transfer to a colander. Run under cold tap water to stop them from cooking further.
Add pasta into the same pot of boiling water. Cook per package directions. Drain then rinse with water. Cool.
Place dressing ingredients in a jar. Shake well.
Place pasta in a very large bowl. Add broccolini, parsley, and parmesan cheese (start with ¾ cup, add more if you want). Drizzle with dressing and toss well. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature.
