Tangy fresh goat cheese and fruity extra-virgin olive oil create a light but creamy sauce for pasta and broccolini. Meanwhile, lemony toasted breadcrumbs add a pleasing textural contrast as well as a bright flavor accent. If you can't find Broccolini, sometimes called “baby broccoli,” substitute an equal weight of broccoli florets.

Tip

Don't use cold goat cheese; it needs to be at room temperature to combine with the oil. Also, don't boil the pasta until al dente; it should still be very firm when drained, as it will continue cooking in the skillet with the broccolini.
