Preparation steps
Clean, wash and cut the broccoli into florets. Cook the broccoli florets in some boiling salted water for 6-7 minutes. Then drain and collect some of the boiling water. Let the broccoli cool down.
Cook pasta according to package instructions in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente.
In the meantime, wash the basil, shake dry and pluck the leaves. Puree with broccoli, feta, pine nuts and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a mixer until creamy. Add some of the cooking water if necessary. Set broccoli pesto aside.
Clean and slice the mushrooms. Rinse lemon hot and dab dry. Squeeze the juice and grate the skin.
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes at medium to high heat. Add lemon juice, lemon grated and noodles, season with salt and pepper and mix.
Serve the pasta with broccoli pesto and garnish to taste with some feta and pine nuts.
