Add the chopped garlic to the pan and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the broccoli to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until it starts to soften.

Drain the cooked spaghetti and reserve a little of the pasta water.

Combine the cooked broccoli with the drained spaghetti in a bowl.

Add the zest of 1 lemon, 1/3 cup of reduced fat feta cheese, crushed red pepper to taste (about 1 teaspoon), and a pinch of salt to the bowl.

Mix everything together well, adding reserved pasta water (about 1/4 cup) to moisten if needed.

Plate the pasta and serve, with a serving size of about 1.5 cups.
