Broccoli Walnut Pesto Pasta

Pasta! tell me which kid doesn’t like. My kids are no exception. Pasta is the dish in which I can sneak in vegetables that they don’t like it. I wanted to try the less creamy version of broccoli pasta. So I have decided to do broccoli walnut pesto pasta. Kids enjoyed it. I loved the taste of it. Finally I found one dish in which I can tolerate broccoli. Yahoo! now I can say I eat all vegetables…
Ingredients


Pasta – 1 cup
Broccoli – 1.5 cup (cut into small flowerlets)

Walnuts – 1 tablespoon

green chillies – 2-3 (adjust to your spice level)
Coriander Leaves – 1 cup (chopped roughly)
Salt to taste
Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
Olive oil – 2 tablespoon
Grated Parmesan  Cheese – 2 tablespoon 



Method:


Roast the walnut till nice aroma comes.
Boil 3 cups of water and salt and cook broccoli in it. Broccoli gets cooked very fast. For me it takes only 4-5 mins. Drain the water and keep it aside to cool

Heat 1 teaspoon of oil. Fry the coriander leaves and garlic.Let it cool down. When it is cool down add green chilli, roasted walnut, 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper powder.
