Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil and add the pasta. Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and set aside. Reserve some pasta water if needed.

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon olive oil and minced garlic. Cook garlic until fragrant, about one minute.

Add the broccoli and a big pinch of salt and pepper to the pan. Mix together and let broccoli cook for 5-7 minutes, until tender.

Add in the white beans and cook for another minute.

Next, add in the cooked pasta and the pesto sauce. Mix everything together and add in a little of the reserved pasta water, if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook until pasta is warmed through. Squeeze lemon on top before serving, if desired.
