Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Prep the baby broccoli; cook the penne

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil.

Trim the root ends from the baby broccoli; cut the broccoli into 1-inch lengths.

To the pot of boiling water, stir in the penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the penne, reserving ½ cup [1 cup] pasta cooking water. Return the penne to the pot; drizzle with about 1 tablespoon oil and toss to keep the noodles from sticking.

While the penne is cooking, cook the broccoli.

Cook the broccoli; finish the pasta

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the red pepper–cashew crema, reserved pasta cooking water, and as many chile flakes as you like. Add the penne and toss well to coat. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

While the broccoli and penne are cooking, prepare the salad.

Make the salad

In a medium bowl, toss the arugula with the Italian vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the pasta to individual bowls and sprinkle with the Parmesan and as many remaining chile flakes as you like. Serve the salad on the side.
