Blending anchovies and cubes of Parmesan into pesto adds plenty of umami kick to this veggie-packed weeknight dinner. Delicate broccolini gets blanched in the same boiling water as the pasta, saving you from an extra pot to clean. Any tubular pasta, like penne rigate, will work well here, but we love the corkscrew spirals of cavatappi for the optimal amount of pesto in every bite.
