Recipe View Infuse the Oil: In a small skillet, gently warm the olive oil over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook slowly, stirring frequently, until it turns a delicate golden color and releases its fragrant aroma (2-3 minutes). Avoid burning the garlic, as this will make it bitter. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and set aside.

With approximately 5 minutes remaining in the pasta's cooking time, add the broccoli florets to the boiling water. Continue cooking until the pasta is al dente and the broccoli is crisp-tender.

Recipe View Combine and Serve: Drain the pasta and broccoli thoroughly. In a large bowl, toss the hot pasta and broccoli with the lemon-garlic sauce. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and toss again to combine. Serve immediately, with extra Parmesan cheese on the side.

For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic as it cooks.
Toasted pine nuts or breadcrumbs make a lovely textural addition.
Ensure the garlic is cooked gently to prevent burning and bitterness.
Use high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. If the pasta seems dry after tossing with the sauce, add a little of the reserved water to create a creamier consistency.

    The key is to not burn the garlic - it makes a huge difference in the flavor.
