Green Olive Linguine with Broccolini & Breadcrumbs is a fresh and vibrant vegetarian dish, ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces Linguine
  • 1 bunch Broccolini
  • 4 tablespoons Butter
  • 3 scallions
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 cup Castelvetrano Olives
  • 2 tablespoons Chives
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and blanch for about 2 minutes. Transfer to an ice water bath, then drain and pat dry.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. In the same skillet, increase the heat and add the blanched broccolini. Sauté until edges start to char, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Return the pot of water to a boil, add linguine, and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 9-11 minutes.
  5. In the skillet, lower the heat and add the butter. Once melted, toss in scallions and garlic, cooking until fragrant.
  6. Add reserved pasta water, lemon juice, and parmesan to the skillet. Stir until creamy, then add linguine and charred broccolini.
  7. Serve by topping with crispy breadcrumbs and chives, with additional parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap linguine with any pasta you love.
  • Asparagus or regular broccoli can be used instead of broccolini.
  • Olive oil makes a great vegan option for butter.
  • Chives or shallots can replace scallions.
  • Fresh garlic is always best.
  • Adjust black pepper according to your spice preference.
  • Fresh lemon juice is superior, but bottled juice works in a hurry.
  • Nutritional yeast is a fantastic vegan swap for parmesan.
  • Kalamata olives can change the dish’s profile but still taste great.
  • Feel free to swap chives for parsley or omit altogether.
  • Substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or skip them for a lighter option.
