Ingredients
- 8 oz. pasta (gluten-free if desired)
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 6 oz. mushrooms
- 2-3 roma tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic
For the creamy white sauce:
- 2 cups dairy-free milk* (plain, unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free if desired)
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp. white miso
- 2 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
For serving (optional but recommended):
- Fresh herbs (basil, parsley, chives, dill, etc.)
- Vegan Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions, leaving al dente (slightly firm, not mushy). Drain when finished.
- Prepare vegetables: Clean and slice mushrooms, cut broccoli into small florets, and chop tomatoes. Mince garlic.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, sauté mushrooms for 3-4 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.) Add broccoli florets and sauté for 6-7 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender.
- Add broccoli florets and sauté for 6-7 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a blender, add all sauce ingredients and blend to combine.
- Add minced garlic and tomatoes to the pan. Stir and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Then reduce heat and add sauce. Lightly simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until sauce thickens. Turn off heat.
- Add pasta (cooked and drained) and toss to combine. Salt & pepper to taste. Garnish with vegan parmesan and fresh herbs of choice.
Notes
- *Milk: I use homemade cashew milk, but soy would work for a nut-free option. Just be sure the milk is plain & unsweetened.
- Vegetables: Change it up with spinach, kale, bell pepper, peas, asparagus, zucchini, summer squash, etc.
- For gluten-free: Use GF pasta and flour. (I use Bob's Red Mill all-purpose GF flour.)
- For nut-free: Ensure your milk & flour are nut-free, and omit the vegan cashew parmesan.
