Ingredients:

• 2 – 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet, then add the chopped broccolini. Saute for a few minutes until slightly browned, then season with 1/2 tsp hot chili flakes, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and a touch more of olive oil. Add the finely sliced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon, a pinch of salt, and ground black pepper.

Add the cooked pasta to the pan and add a cup of pasta water. Toss until combined. Now, add 3 tbsp butter and continue to toss everything until the butter fully melts. After this, add some finely grated pecorino cheese and serve. Enjoy!
