Cream of Broccoli Pasta is a quick, easy weeknight dinner that the whole family will love. It’s one of those simple homemade meals that comes together with minimal effort, making it a staple in your meal rotation. If you love my dairy-free Broccoli Cheddar Soup, you’ll adore this simple Italian vegan Broccoli and Garlic Pasta dish. Vegetables - Use a fresh broccoli head (florets and tender stems). For convenience, you can also use bagged pre-cut or frozen. For added protein, use frozen shelled edamame. Alternatively, you can add green peas or any other vegetables of your choice. Spices - Mixed herbs, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg are the three spices that you will need in this one-pot cheese pasta recipe with broccoli sauce. Aromatics - garlic, and cilantro give this vegan Alfredo pasta dish an aromatic flavor with a kick. Cheese - To keep it vegan, use freshly grated dairy-free Parmesan cheese. Nutritional Yeast - Adds a cheesy, nutty flavor to the dish, enhancing the overall taste of the dish while keeping it dairy-free. Extra Virgin Olive oil for sautéing and adding a rich flavor and chili oil adds a spicy kick.
You can pair vegan Broccoli Alfredo with garlic bread, Tomato soup, Lentil Soup, Cucumber Salad, Chickpea Salad, Tomato Salad, Jalapeno Poppers, Matar Kachori Pinwheels, or Puff Pastry Samosa.
