Ingredients
- 1 box whole wheat pasta use any pasta of choice, or gluten-free pasta
- 2 Large potato Yukon gold variety
- 3 Medium carrot
- 2 Cups broccoli florets
- 2 Cloves garlic minced
- ¼ Cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon freshly squeezed juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the 2 Large Yukon Gold Potatoes and 3 Medium Carrots thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat the excess moisture with a paper towel.
- Using a potato peeler, peel the potatoes and carrots skin off and cut into large bite-sized chunks.
- Now add chopped potatoes and carrots to a large pot, then pour over enough water to cover by 1" inch. Season with a generous pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Boil for 15 minutes or until potatoes and carrots are easily pierced with a paring knife.
- Meanwhile, add a steamer basket under another pot filled with about 1 cup water (or use the same pot where the veggies are boiling if the water doesn't touch the steamer) Steam the 2 Cups Broccoli Florets for 3-4 minutes, or just until fork-tender.
- Once the veggies are done, remove them from the heat and place them in a colander to drain, reserving about 1 cup of water from the veggies. Allow the veggies to cool slightly. Cook 1 box Whole Wheat or Gluten-free Pasta according to the package instructions.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 Cloves Minced Garlic, 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 tablespoons Freshly-Squeezed Lemon Juice 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard, ½ teaspoon Paprika, ⅛ teaspoon Turmeric Powder, and ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt and ¼ teaspoon Ground Pepper. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
- Next, place the boiled potatoes, carrots, ¼ Cup Nutritional Yeast, and 1/2 cup of the reserved liquid in a blender.
- Pour in the prepared garlic and vinegar mixture and blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. If needed, add more liquid to reach your desired consistency.
- Add cooked pasta to a large serving bowl together with steamed broccoli, then pour the sauce on top.
- Using a wooden spoon, mix well until pasta is evenly coated into super creamy delicious sauce! Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can store the leftover sauce in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat just before serving.
- Use any pasta of your choice
- Swap the broccoli with zucchini or any other veggie of your choice.
