In a large sauté pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

Add the minced garlic, fine sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the broccoli. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden.
4
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and freshly grated lemon zest.
5
Add the cooked Barilla Chickpea Rotini to the pan and gently toss everything together to combine well, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the pasta through, then remove from heat.
6
Serve the dish warm with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, and more lemon zest on top, if desired.
