Squid Ink Pasta with Broccoli & Peas

Ingredients

2cloves garlic thinly sliced
2 heads broccoli
1 cup of fresh or frozen peas
120ml extra virgin olive oil
60g parmesan shaved
350g squid ink pasta
1 lemon

Instructions

Using a large saucepan bring some salted water to the boil.
Cut the broccoli heads into small florets then place in boiling water with the peas and cook for 3 minutes or until tender. Using a slotted spoon, remove broccoli from water and transfer to a bowl, keep the water in the saucepan boiling.
Add the squid ink pasta to your boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain pasta and drizzle a small amount of the olive oil over to stop it sticking and lightly toss.
