Method

Heat the grill to medium-high. Put the cheese in a baking dish about 20 x 25cm, arrange the tomatoes and broccoli around it and season well. Drizzle with 2 tsp oil and grill for 20-25 mins until the tomatoes are bursting, the broccoli is tender and lightly charred, and the cheese is soft.
Meanwhile, boil the beans for 2-3 mins until piping hot. Drain (reserving the cooking water), rinse with cold water and drain again. Transfer to a food processor with the dill, cashews, lemon zest and juice, garlic and 2 tsp oil; pulse until finely chopped. Add 2-3 tbsp water and blend again to make a thick pesto.
Cook the spaghetti to pack instructions in the reserved hot water. Drain, reserving 100ml water. Stir the pesto into the spaghetti with 50ml water. Tip into the baking dish and toss well to break up the cheese. Add more pasta water to loosen if needed. Serve with a twist of black pepper.
