Instructions

Prep and Boil

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook linguine according to package directions, but drain 1 minute early, reserving 1/2 cup of starchy pasta water.
  2. While pasta cooks, season chicken with salt and pepper.

Sear and Toss

  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add remaining oil and broccoli. Sear until bright green and slightly charred, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the cooked pasta, chicken, lemon juice, zest, and half the reserved pasta water to the skillet. Toss vigorously over medium heat until a light, silky sauce forms, adding more water if dry.
  5. Turn off heat, stir in parmesan and plenty of cracked black pepper before serving.

Chef's notes

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

Reserve more pasta water than you think you need. The starch in the water is the secret to turning oil, lemon juice, and cheese into a creamy, cohesive sauce without needing heavy cream.

Tip 2 of 2

Slice the broccoli into bite-sized florets and keep them relatively uniform so they cook through quickly during the sear without becoming mushy.
