Step 2: In the same pot and with the same broccoli cooking water, add the pasta and let it cook for 7 minutes (the cooking time will depend on the type of pasta, I recommend you to read the cooking instructions of the pasta you are going to use) when there is 1 minute left to finish cooking the pasta, take the 60 ml. of the cooking water that we will use to prepare the vinaigrette.
