Instructions
- Leave the cashews soaking in hot water for 20 minutes.
- Chop the broccoli into small florets.
- Fill a big pot with salted water and add the broccoli. Bring to a boil and then add the pasta. Cook following the packet instructions.
- While the pasta and broccoli are cooking and once the cashews have been soaking for about 20 minutes, drain the water, rinse them and add them into a blender jug together with the spinach, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, water, and yeast flakes (optional).
- Blend until you have a smooth and creamy green sauce.
- Once the pasta and broccoli are cooked, drain using a colander with small holes so the broccoli doesn't go through.
- Add the broccoli and pasta into the same pot once the water has been drained and add the green creamy sauce.
- Mix until all the ingredients are incorporated.
Notes
- We love to serve this green pasta with a light drizzle of chilli oil or olive oil for Luca, lemon zest, and some finely chopped preserved lemons.
- Serve with some kalamata olives and a fresh salad on the side for the perfect meal.
