निर्देश

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook for 8-9 minutes, until al dente, adding the broccoli and peas for the final 2 minutes. Drain, reserving a cupful of cooking water.

Meanwhile, place a frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the walnuts, garlic and chilli and cook for 4-5 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from the heat.

Add the cooked pasta, broccoli and peas to the pan. Pour in a splash of the reserved cooking water and stir over low heat until everything comes together in a glossy sauce. Remove from the heat. Stir through the lemon zest and season generously.

Divide between bowls and finish with a drizzle of olive oil. Delicious served with a fresh green salad.
