  • Pour the broth into the pot and mix well; increase heat to high and bring pot to a boil.
  • Add the linguine pasta and stir. Reduce the heat to medium-high and boil, covered for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes, until most broth is absorbed by the linguine.

To Finish:

  • Stir in the broccoli, cream cheese, and lemon juice. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until cream cheese melts and coats all of the pasta.
