Place the broccoli, basil, cheese, walnuts, 1/2 teaspoon salt, red pepper flakes and garlic in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the broth and oil and process until smooth.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and transfer the fettuccine to a large bowl. Add the pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and lemon zest and toss to coat well.

    Really nice blend of flavors with the hot pepper, lemon zest and sun dried tomatoes- the broccoli pesto itself is very good but these additions really made a difference. I subbed pine nuts for walnuts.
