For a vegan version, substitute nutritional yeast for Parmesan cheese and use vegetable broth base instead of chicken broth base. To add more protein, consider adding grilled chicken or shrimp to the finished dish. The lemon-pepper seasoning can be adjusted to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine until al dente, about 11 minutes.
02
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
03
StepIn a baking dish, combine broccoli, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and lemon-pepper seasoning. Toss to coat.
04
StepRoast in the preheated oven, stirring every 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender-crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.
05
StepDrain the pasta, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Dissolve soup base in the reserved cooking liquid; set aside.
06
StepHeat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt. Cook, stirring often, until some of the liquid has reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the roasted broccoli mixture, 2 tablespoons olive oil, butter, and balsamic vinegar; stir to combine.
07
StepTransfer the entire vegetable mixture to the pot with the cooked pasta. Add the bouillon water, stir thoroughly, and serve immediately.
