Ingredients:
- 1 lb pasta, preferably orecchiette

- 5-10 garlic scapes, or 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-2 Tbsp lemon zest
- pinch red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper
- grated parmesan (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare all your ingredients. Preheat oven to 450° F. (Missing in the photo is the parmesan cheese).

- Add drained pasta with a little bit of the pasta water and stir to combine.
- Add roasted broccoli to pan and mix together until heated through 2-3 minutes.
