    Bow Ties with Broccoli Pesto

    Yields: 4 servings

    Preparation time: 35 minutes

    Ingredients:

    1 pound (455 g) broccoli flowerets (about 7 cups)
    2 or 3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
    1/2 cup (40 g) grated Parmesan cheese
    3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
    1 1/2 teaspoons Oriental sesame oil
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    12 ounces (340 g) dried pasta bow ties (farfalle)
    1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) seasoned rice vinegar or
    1 to 2 tablespoons/15 to 30 ml distilled white vinegar plus 1/2 to 1
    teaspoon sugar
    1 small tomato (about 4 oz./115 g), chopped

    Recipe



    In a 4- to 5-quart (3.8- to 5-liter) pan, bring 8 cups (1.9 liters)
    water to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in broccoli and cook
    until just tender to bite (about 7 minutes). Immediately drain
    broccoli, immerse in ice water until cool, and drain again. In a
    food processor or blender, combine a third of the broccoli with
    garlic, cheese, olive oil, sesame oil, salt, and 3 tablespoons (45
    ml) water. Whirl until smooth. Scrape down sides of container, add
    half the remaining broccoli, and whirl until smooth again. Add
    remaining broccoli; whirl until smooth. Set aside.

    In a 5- to 6-quart (5- to 6-liter) pan, bring about 3 quarts (2.8
    liters) water to a boil over medium-high heat; stir in pasta and
    cook until just tender to bite, 8 to 10 minutes. (Or cook pasta
    according to package directions.)

    Drain pasta well. Transfer to a large serving bowl and stir in
    vinegar. Add pesto and mix gently but thoroughly. Garnish with
    tomato and serve immediately.
