Fill a pan with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Drop in the spaghetti and cook according to the packet instructions.
Steam the broccoli until tender but still green, about 6 minutes.
Put the broccoli, basil, Parmesan, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice into a food processor. Blitz until smooth, then season with salt and pepper.
Drain the spaghetti well and return it to the pan. Stir in the pesto until evenly coated.
Divide the pasta between plates. Serve at once, with extra grated Parmesan on top if you like.
