Stir in parsley, 1 1/2 teaspoons juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 ounces Parmesan cheese (about 1/2 cup). Reserve 4 cups pasta mixture. Divide remaining 4 cups pasta mixture among 4 plates; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 ounce Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup).
- Combine remaining 1 tablespoon oil, remaining 1 tablespoon juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, shallots, capers, and black pepper in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle oil mixture over broccoli florets. Serve with pasta mixture.
