Whole wheat pasta with broccoli and walnut pesto

Wash the broccoli and separate it into florets and stem. Cut the florets into small pieces, and peel and dice the stem into small cubes.

In a large pot, bring water to a boil with a pinch of salt. When the water boils, add the whole wheat spaghetti and cook according to package instructions (approximately 10 minutes).

2 minutes before the pasta is ready, add half of the broccoli florets to the pot to blanch them with the pasta.
