Here's a quick and easy pasta dish with crisp light citrusy flavors.
Ingredients: 10 ounces extra-wide curly “no yolk” noodles
2 pounds broccoli, steamed (florets and peeled stems, cut in 1/2” slices)
1/2 cup chopped California walnuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
juice of one lemon
juice of 1/2 orange
grated zest of one lemon
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Optional:
1/2 cup diced smoked turkey, low-fat chicken sausage, or seasoned tofu
Instructions:

Cook noodles al dente, about 5 minutes.

Steam broccoli until tender, about 3-5 minutes.

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat and add walnuts. Sauté for about 1 minute.

Combine noodles and broccoli (and turkey, chicken or tofu if using). Add walnut-oil mixture and toss well. Add citrus juices, zest, and pepper and toss well again.
