400 g penne pasta
250 g chorizo sausages, finely diced
Grated parmesan, to serve
Broccoli Pesto:
400 g broccoli, trimmed and cut into small florets
⅓ cup pine nuts
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tbsp lemon juice
⅔ cup light flavoured extra virgin olive oil

To make broccoli pesto, place broccoli, pine nuts, garlic and lemon juice into a food processor. Process until evenly chopped. Season with salt and pepper. Gradually add the oil, processing until finely chopped. Set aside.
Cook penne in a large saucepan of salted water, following packet directions.
While pasta is cooking, fry off the chorizo in a small frying pan over medium heat until crispy at the edges.
