Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse broccoli, walnuts, cloves, cheese, sea salt, and pepper until finely minced. Mix the oils and lemon juice in a 2-cup glass-measuring cup, and slowly drizzle through spout of food processor while pulsing until smooth.
Return hot, drained pasta back to pot, and toss with desired amount of pesto (I used 1 cup), adding ½ cup of hot pasta water to provide for a creamier sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped roma tomatoes and sprigs of parsley, and serve. ~ Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Tip: A great pesto sauce to serve as a spread on bagels or crusty slices of bread, over omelets, or for spreading on hot fillets of salmon or halibut, or as a base sauce for pizzas, and so on.
