This Pesto Pasta with Broccoli is a quick and easy meal you can throw together in under an hour. It\u2019s flavorful, healthy, packed with vegetables, and absolutely delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used Jovial gluten free pasta. Another good gluten free pasta is Banza chickpea pasta. If you\u2019re not gluten free, you can easily sub regular pasta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a store bought pesto makes this recipe quick and easy with very little prep, but if you prefer homemade pesto you can make it while your broccoli is roasting and water is heating up. Or use that time to get in a quick workout or take care of some chores!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
