Charred Broccoli, Chickpea & Harissa Pasta
Packed with charred broccoli, spicy harissa and tangy lemon, this is a seriously flavoursome midweek meal that’s ready in just 20 minutes. We love the simplicity of this recipe, but for an extra source of protein why not try adding peas, edamame or kale?

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta according to packet instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a mugful of cooking water and set aside.
2
Whilst the pasta is cooking, set a large dry frying pan over high heat. Add half of the broccoli and cook for 7–⏱️ 8 minutes, tossing every so often, until charred at the edges and the colour has darkened slightly; remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining broccoli.
3
Reduce the heat to medium–low (you might need to let the pan cool down first), add the olive oil, garlic and chilli; cook for 4–⏱️ 5 minutes until golden.
