recipe-img

Description

I combined two recipes to create this side with broccoli and pasta. The splash of lemon adds nice flavor. Instead of toasted almonds, you could also sprinkle servings with grated Parmesan cheese.

Ingredient:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup uncooked whole wheat couscous
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon slivered almonds, toasted
