Linguine with Broccoli Pesto

Cut the broccoli into florets and boil in a pot of salted boiling water for 1 minute.
Remove from pot with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl full of chilled water and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Drain broccoli, pat dry and set aside.
Place a separate pot full of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the linguine and cook for 7-8 minutes or for 1 minute less than the instructions on the package.
While the pasta is boiling, prepare the pesto.
Beat all of the ingredients for the pesto in a food processor until they are pureed.
Add the parmesan and beat to combine.
Taste the pesto and adjust according to your taste.
Beat again. If the pesto is too thick, add a little more olive oil.
When the pasta is ready, reserve 100 ml of the pasta water and drain.
Add the pesto to the linguine and toss.
If they are too dry add a little of the reserved pasta water, toss and serve.
