    Method: 

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. While pasta is cooking, steam broccoli until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain broccoli and rinse under cold water. In a large sauté pan, bring chicken broth and cream to a simmer, then stir in Gorgonzola. Allow to thicken, then add drained pasta, steamed broccoli and lemon zest. Gently stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and cherry tomatoes.
