Everybody do the twist! Fast and fresh with a double-turned form, our gemelli is the right pasta shape to keep this delicious sauce close. It refreshes with a double hit of lemon (juice and zest make it ultra-fragrant) and it comforts with a good grating of savoury Grana Padano cheese. For full coverage, you’ll introduce broccoli florets and whole cherry tomatoes to the pan, and cook them until bursting with excitement.

Preparation
Mise en place
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Halve the tomatoes and broccoli florets (quarter if large). Zest and juice the lemon.
Cook the vegetables
In a large, high-sided pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil on medium. Cook the broccoli and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions), partially covered, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to soften. Add the tomatoes and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 6 min., until the broccoli is tender and the tomatoes begin to burst. Add the lemon zest and juice (start with ½ the juice), demi-glace, spices and S&P; stir well.
Boil the pasta
Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 3 to 6 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Combine the pasta
To the pan of vegetables, add the pasta and ½ the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 min., until heated through and combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency. Add ⅔ of the cheese and S&P; stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your bowls. Garnish with the remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
