Ingredients
- 1/3 Spaghettini pasta package
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 yellow onion chopped
- 1/4-1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 2 tsp oregano dried
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
- zest lemon from one lemon
- juice lemon from half
- 5 tsp vegetable broth Organika brand
- 4 1/2 cups water hot
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese plus more for garnish, shredded
- 3 cups broccoli floret frozen
- 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
- 1-2 tbsp chives fresh, minced
Instructions
- Boil 4 1/2 cups water and set aside.
- In a large frying pan add 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add in spices: chili flakes (1/4-1/2 tsp depending on how much spice you like), dried oregano, salt and pepper. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in lemon zest and juice, cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in Organika Veggie Broth powder and then stir in 4 1/2 cups hot water.
- Stir in the spaghettini noodles. Bring to a simmer and stir once noodles start to soften. Keep to a simmer over medium-low heat, cover with a lid and stir occasionally until noodles are cooked al dente and sauce has reduced, about 6-8 minutes. If you find your pasta is not quite done yet and there isn't much liquid left, add 1/2 cup more water at a time and keep cooking until done.
- Add in the cream cheese and parmesan cheese, stir until cream cheese is blended into the sauce. Next add the frozen broccoli, stir and cover with a lid to allow the broccoli to cook, about 4-5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired. Add in chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Serve with garnished with more shredded parmesan cheese if desired and minced fresh chives.
Notes
- Other vegetable options: try fresh broccoli or broccolini. If trying broccolini, you may want to steam or roast it separately since it needs longer to cook than regular broccoli.
- Another delicious option would be to try frozen peas! They will cook super quick in the pasta.
