0.5 cup halal pouring cream
2 handful toasted pine nuts

Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water as the packet directs, adding the broccoli florets for the final 3 minutes. Save a cup of the cooking water before draining.

Add the toasted pine nuts and grated cheese, loosen with a splash of the saved water if needed and season well.
