Creating this Healthy Broccoli Pasta is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.
2. Blanch the Broccoli: In the same pot of boiling water, add the broccoli florets and blanch for about 2-3 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the blanched broccoli and cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to coat everything evenly.
5. Moisten with Pasta Water: Gradually add reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce that clings to the pasta.
6. Add Cheese: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until it melts and creates a creamy coating over the pasta.
7. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper to your preference, adjusting for flavor.
8. Serve: Transfer to plates and garnish with fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley as desired.

These steps will guide you in preparing this incredible meal quickly and easily.
