I love to prepare pasta dishes for my family, like Hidden Veg Pasta Sauce, Lemon Broccoli Green Pasta, or Red Lentil Pasta, because it’s always easy to make, and everyone loves them. Broccoli and pasta are two low-cost ingredients that are perfect for creating cheap healthy family dinners. So let’s see how you can make this vegan broccoli pasta recipe in less than 30 minutes and bring a dinner packed with veggies to your table.
Ingredients and Substitutions
To make this recipe, you will need the following:
Uncooked Pasta – I recommend a shape like penne, shell, farfalle, fusilli, or bow pasta. They fit the pan easily rather than Fettuccine or Spaghetti. Fresh Broccoli – cut into tiny florets Shallots or onion Extra Virgin Olive Oil Garlic Cloves Vegetable Broth Almond Milk – I prefer unsweetened almond milk, but you can also use any dairy-free milk including coconut milk, soy milk, or cashew milk. Sea salt and Black Pepper Nutritional yeast or vegan cheese like vegan Parmesan cheese Italian Seasoning Lemon Juice Coconut Cream – Canned coconut cream or cashew cream.
How To Make Vegan Broccoli Pasta
Vegan broccoli pasta is a one-bowl pasta recipe where broccoli is cooked at the same time as your pasta, so you don’t have to go through many steps and cleaning of pans. Here the pasta is cooked in a plant-based creamy sauce with delicious pieces of broccoli and ready in 30 minutes with minimal washing. This is a one-bowl recipe which means that the pasta is cooked directly in the pasta sauce, so you don’t have many steps to follow.
Serving
You can serve these creamy vegan pasta recipe with some delicious add-ons to enhance the flavor of the dish including:
Lemon Zest Lemon Juice Red Pepper Flakes Cooked vegan meat like vegan ground meat, vegan sausage, or TVP meatballs
Storage Instructions
You can store leftover broccoli pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the remaining pasta in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge the day before and rewarm in the microwave or over medium heat in a non-stick saucepan.
Allergy swaps
If you need to replace some of the ingredients, I listed some options below.
Gluten-Free – Use gluten-free pasta like quinoa pasta, rice pasta or buckwheat pasta. Keep in mind that gluten-free pasta cook at a different speed and sometimes, required more liquid. Look at the package instructions for more details. Nut-Free – Replace the almond milk with soy milk or oat milk. Cream Swap – Use cashew cream, you can make this in a blender. Blend 1/4 cup of overnight soaked cashew nuts with 1/2 cup of water until smooth and creamy.
