Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 g pasta
  • 500 g broccoli
  • 30 g vegan butter
  • 25 g flour
  • 200 ml unsweetened oat milk (or other plant milk)
  • 150 ml oat cuisine (or plant-based cream alternative)
  • 2 tsp vegetable broth powder
  • 1 tbsp vegan parmesan
  • 50 g pine nuts
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Set a large pot of water to boil. Add a generous amount of salt and cook the pasta according to package instructions (about 8-10 minutes) until al dente.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast them without oil for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into small florets. In a separate pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil and cook the broccoli for about 10 minutes until soft but still bright green. Check the texture with a fork.
  4. In another pot, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden to help bind the sauce.
  5. Slowly pour in the oat milk and oat cuisine while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue stirring until the sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Season the sauce with vegetable broth powder, salt, and vegan parmesan. Stir well and let it briefly come to a boil to meld the flavors.
  7. Once the broccoli is cooked, set aside about one-third of the florets for decoration. Roughly mash the remaining broccoli with a fork or potato masher and mix it into the sauce.
  8. When the pasta is done, drain it and add it directly to the creamy broccoli sauce. Mix thoroughly until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
  9. Serve the creamy pasta on plates, garnished with the reserved broccoli florets and toasted pine nuts. Serve immediately to keep it warm and creamy.

Nutrition

Keywords: Avoid overcooking the broccoli to maintain its texture and color. You can substitute coconut oil for vegan butter for a different flavor.
