Instructions
Bake the broccoli and bulb of garlic for 10-15 mins at 180C. Let them cool down a bit before transferring into the food processor.
Squish out the garlic cloves, I have used 3 but if you love garlic you can add a few more. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blitz until you form a paste.
Cook the pasta as per package instructions and drain.
Add the pesto to the a pan, along with the pasta and some hot water. On a low heat mix until the ingredients are well combined.
You will need quite a lot of water at this point, as the pesto will soak most of the water, judge the amount of water needed based on your preference.
Serve with extra toasted pine nuts and fresh basil leaves. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil is a must
