This week I’m just doing a simple pasta with broccoli recipe, but I do have some big articles in the works! So stay tuned for that and enjoy the recipe!

  • 1 Pound pasta (shells are best, but any short, chunky pasta such as ziti or penne is fine)
  • 3-4 Broccoli stalks, finely chopped (4 cups chopped)
  • 6 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup Shredded Vegan Cheese (or to taste)
  • Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling (optional)

Heat a large covered pot of water. When the water comes to a rapid boil, add the pasta, stir, and cover the pot until the water boils again.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the broccoli and garlic in olive oil until the garlic is golden, but not brown, and the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Pour a couple of spoonfuls of pasta water into the skillet to steam the broccoli. When the pasta is al dente, drain it and put it into warmed serving dishes.

Top it with the broccoli mixture and the grated “cheese”. Drizzle on a little olive oil, if you would like. Serve immediately.

Serves 4.
