Recipe type: Main

Cuisine: Vegan

Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 bunches broccolini or broccoli, chopped
• 1 lb uncooked pasta (I used spaghetti)
• 1½ tbsp salt for boiling water
• ½ cup reserved pasta water (for sauce)
• 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced or minced
• ½ cup olive oil
• 1 handful parsley, finely chopped (optional)
• 1 tsp chili flakes (optional for extra spice)
• ½-1 cupvegan cheese of choice (optional)
• lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

1. Add salt to large pot of water. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the broccolini in the boiling water for a minute or 2 mins. If you have frozen broccolini or broccoli, cook or steam based on your preference.
2. Remove Broccolini with a slotted spoon or fine-mesh sieve. You can also use a strainer for your broccolini or broccoli. Set aside.
3. Add pasta to boiling water, and cook until al dente.
4. Meanwhile, heat olive oil and sliced or minced garlic in a large pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until fragrant and lightly browned, 5 mins.
5. Add broccolini, chili flakes, and optional seasoning to the large pan with garlic.
6. Next, add your pasta, by transferring it from the water with a slotted spoon or tongs, directly into the oil. Feel free to add optional parsley. Toss to coat.
7. Add ½ cup of pasta water into the pan and bring to a boil, stirring gently.
8. Turn off the heat, and gently stir until the "sauce" thickens.
9. If you want a cheesy pasta, sprinkle in vegan cheese, and mix well until cheese melts.
10. Serve on a plate and top with a squeeze of lemon.
