Creamy Broccolini Pasta with Chile Breadcrumbs

Step 1

Heat oven to 425°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss Broccolini with 2 Tbsp oil, garlic, half of chile, and ½ tsp salt. Arrange in a single layer and roast 15 minutes.

Step 2

Cook pasta per package directions. Reserve ¾ cup cooking water, drain pasta, and return to pot.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss panko with remaining tsp oil, then zest and remaining chile.

Step 4

Push Broccolini over to one side slightly and spread panko in the open space. Roast until Broccolini is tender and crisp at the edges and panko is golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes more.

Step 5

Toss pasta with lemon juice and then sour cream and ¼ cup reserved pasta water, adding additional pasta water if pasta seems dry. Toss with Broccolini and top with chile breadcrumbs.
