I think all parents can relate to raising picky eaters.
There is a spectrum of pickiness, and in my household it ebbs and flows.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason, and my two boys have very opposite palates.

One loves crunchy textures and bold flavors, and the other craves fruit and soft textures.
By way of miracle, both of my boys love broccoli.
Needless to say, we have broccolia lot.

One of our favorite dinners is a quick and easy weeknight pasta dish chock-full of broccoli.
Im talking equal parts pasta to broccoli.
If you are currently in a phase where green vegetables are a hard no (I see you!
), feel free to use cauliflower instead.
Once its boiling, season it generously with kosher salt.
While the broccoli cooks, heat a large saucepan over medium heat.
Let it infuse off the heat for about 1 minute.
Bring the same pot of water back to a rolling boil.
Add your pasta of choice and cook according to the package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, keep the saucepan with the broccoli sauce over low heat.
Cook, stirring occasionally, to keep warm.
Turn the heat up to medium-low.
Add more pasta water as needed until you have a creamy, glossy sauce.
Taste, adding a squeeze or two of lemon (if desired) and salt if needed.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
