How To Make Broccoli Pasta (Vegan)
Begin preparing your broccoli by boiling water in a large pot and cutting your broccoli into small pieces. You want to boil enough water for broccoli and pasta. First, add broccoli into the pot of boiling water with 2 tsp of salt and cook for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat and add minced garlic and chili flakes (optional). Stir and cook for a couple of minutes.
Remove cooked broccoli and add to the pan along with 1/3 cup of the broccoli cooking water in the pot.
Cook the broccoli in the pan on medium-heat for about 10 mins or until soft enough to lightly mash with a fork. Mash the broccoli as much as you desire.
Meanwhile, add pasta to your pot of boiling broccoli water and cook pasta as per package instructions (al dente). Once the pasta is cooked, save about 1 cup of pasta water.
Drain the pasta and add into the broccoli pan mixture, along with the 1 cup of pasta water, salt and pepper, and mix well to combine.
Top with vegan parmesan, like my homemade Hemp Parmesan or Cashew Parmesan or nutritional yeast! Add more salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy right away!
