Hot fried or poached eggs for each servingoptional
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ziti according to package directions, and scoop out 1/2 cup of the cooking water just before draining.
Heat the olive oil in the same pot over medium heat and sauté the garlic for 1 minute until it turns golden. Add the broccolini, season with salt and the red pepper flakes (easy on the salt; the feta is salty), and sauté for 4 minutes until just crisp tender. Pour in the broth and the reserved ½ cup cooking water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 2 minutes, until the broccolini is just as tender as you like, then stir in the drained pasta, feta and lemon zest. Toss until combined and serve hot, with additional red pepper flakes as desired.
Top each serving with a fried egg if desired.
Notes
Instead of a fried egg you can also use a soft boiled or poached egg.
