Broccoli and Lemon Pasta

This is a deliciously simple meal for lunch or dinner.  You can make it with all fresh ingredients or from staple kitchen items.

You'll need:

-450 grams of pasta-- We used farfalle (bow tie).  I finished up two open bags so I'm just guessing on the amount here.
-salt
-broccoli (as much or as little as you like--frozen or fresh)
-2 tbsp. butter
-1-2 cloves of garlic (depending on your own love for garlic)
-2 tsp dried basil (or a few leaves of fresh basil, chopped a bit)
-one lemon (or a tbsp. of lemon juice and some lemon pepper)
-1/4 tsp. pepper

1.  Boil the pasta in salted water (think "the ocean" when you're salting your water for pasta).
2.  Steam the broccoli (from fresh or frozen) with a steaming basket.  You can also boil the broccoli and strain it later, but you'll loose a lot of the nutrition that way.
3.  Find a cute baby to pick a lemon from your yard (ok, this is optional... I guess).

4.  Juice and zest (grate off the first layer of the outside of the lemon... be really careful not to grate too deep) the lemon and set it aside.
5.  Find that cute baby again to pick some basil for you.

6.  Melt the butter in a small skillet.

7.  Press the garlic.
8.  Add garlic, basil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and pepper to the butter.
9.  Cook butter sauce for a few minutes (doesn't it smell amazing?!).
10.  Strain the pasta when it is fully cooked, but not soggy (al dente).
11.  Mix the sauce, broccoli, and pasta together.
12.  Eat and enjoy.
