Pasta with Broccoli Pesto

First, wash the broccoli and separate it into florets and stem. Divide the florets into small pieces and peel the stem and cut it into smaller cubes.

Now, pour water into a large pot, salt it, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Then add the spaghetti to the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes.

While the spaghetti is cooking, prepare the pesto: Peel the garlic, place it in a blender, and add grated Parmesan, walnuts, olive oil, baby spinach, basil, lemon juice, chopped broccoli stem, salt, pepper, and ½ of the total amount of broccoli florets. Then blend the contents of the blender and season the resulting mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
