A delightful pasta dish combining the flavors of garlic, lemon, and Parmesan, enhanced with broccoli and walnuts for a satisfying meal.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
Stir in the dried basil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and seasoning salt until well combined.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more lemon juice for tanginess.
Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions, then drain.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency later if needed.
Add the cooked fettuccine, broccoli florets, and walnuts to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
Ensure the broccoli is tender but still crisp for the best texture.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss again to combine.
Adding the cheese off the heat prevents it from clumping.
Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve with a side of garlic bread for a complete meal.
