This creamy broccoli pasta recipe comes together fast and makes a delicious and comforting meatless meal! It's great for a quick and easy yet totally satisfying weeknight dinner.

Provided by Natasha Bull

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces uncooked pasta (I used penne)
3 heaping cups broccoli (cut into small florets)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 tablespoon flour
1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup heavy/whipping cream
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Salt & pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Boil a large, salted pot of water. Cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. When the pasta is 2-3 minutes away from being done, you will add the broccoli to the water.
  • Add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat, and once it's melted, stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • To the skillet, add in the garlic, broth, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Let it bubble for a minute or so.
  • Whisk in the cream and let it cook for a few minutes until it's thickened up to your liking, then stir in the parmesan cheese and take the pan off the heat.
  • Drain the pasta and broccoli and add it to the skillet. If the sauce has thickened up too much, add a small splash of the pasta water prior to draining it. Season the pasta with salt & pepper (I'm generous with both) as needed and serve immediately with extra parmesan grated on top if desired.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the lemon cashew-cream sauce:
1 cup (150g or 5¼ oz) raw cashews
2 cups (500ml or 17 fl oz) boiling water
1 cup (250ml or 8½ fl oz) good-quality vegetable stock
¼ cup (60ml or 2 fl oz) lemon juice
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
To assemble:
400g (14 oz) dried wholemeal (whole-wheat) spaghetti
300g (10½ oz) broccoli florets (about 1 head)
½ cup (10g or ¼ oz) small basil leaves
1 tablespoon finely shredded lemon rind

Steps:

  • To make the lemon cashew-cream sauce, place the cashews in a medium heatproof bowl and cover with the boiling water. Allow to stand for 30 minutes. Drain the cashews well and place them in a blender. Add the stock, lemon juice, salt and pepper and blend until very smooth.
  • Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 6 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook for a further 4 minutes or until the pasta is al dente and the broccoli is just tender. Drain the pasta and broccoli and immediately return to the warm saucepan. Add the cashew-cream sauce and toss to combine.
  • Divide the pasta between serving bowls and top with the basil and lemon rind to serve.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut broccoli florets. You can also use frozen broccoli, but be sure to thaw it before cooking.
  • If you don't have cashew butter, you can make your own by blending cashews in a food processor until smooth.
  • To make the sauce creamier, add more cashew butter or milk.
  • If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

This pasta dish is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy broccoli. The lemon-cashew cream sauce is light and flavorful, and the broccoli adds a pop of color and nutrition. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
