Ingredients
8ozshort pasta
4cupsof broccolicut into pieces
3garlic clovespeeled
2tablespoonsof vegan butter
2tablespoonsof extra virgin olive oil
zest of a lemon
juice of a lemon
salt and pepper to taste
1red chili pepper
Parmesan cheeseI use vegan Violife brand
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to boil. When boiling, add a teaspoon of salt and put broccoli in the water for two minutes. Take it out and place it on the platter to serve the pasta. If you are looking for crunchy and bright green broccoli pieces, put the broccoli florets in a bowl with iced water.
Add the pasta to the boiling water and follow the package instructions. When the pasta is ready, store a cup of pasta and put it with the broccoli.
In a pan or the same pot, add the butter, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, and the red chili pepper flakes if using for about a minute. The idea is that the garlic is cooked but not brown.
Remove from heat and add salt (2 teaspoons approx.), pepper and lemon juice. Stir very well and pour over the pasta and broccoli. Mix carefully, taste, adjust flavor if needed.
Serve immediately
Finish the pasta with nuts, hemp seeds or Vegan parmesan cheese.
