Method

Jamie Oliver 155x255

  1. Bring a large pan of boiling salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Peel the garlic, wash and de-stalk the greens. While the pasta is cooking, blanch the garlic and greens for 5 minutes in the pasta water, then remove to a blender with tongs. Grate in the Parmesan and the lemon zest, then blitz with a little of the pasta water and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, until you have a silky-smooth green sauce. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
  2. Add the peas and broccoli to the pasta pan for the final 5 minutes of cooking. Drain everything in a colander, reserving a mug of cooking water, then tip back into the pan. Squeeze over half the lemon juice and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. 
  3. Pour over the green sauce and toss everything together with a handful of the rocket, loosening with a splash of the reserved cooking water, if needed.
  4. Divide between bowls and grate over a little extra Parmesan. Dress the remaining rocket with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice and serve alongside.
