| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Frozen or fresh broccoli | 1 package if frozen, 1 medium sized head or curd |
| Pasta of choice | 1 package |
| Smart balance | 1/3 cup |
| Garlic | 1 clove minced |
| Go Veggie Mozzarella | 1/2 cup |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp or to taste |
| Pepper | 1/2 tsp or to taste |
| Vegan Parm | 1/4 cup |
Directions:
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the pasta to the water, stir a few times to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
- While the pasta is cooking, steam the broccoli. If you are using frozen broccoli, steam according to package.
- If you are using fresh broccoli, start by cutting the broccoli in florets.. Place all in a steamer basket. Add about 1″ of water to a pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once the water is boiling, place the steamer basket with broccoli inside, cover with a lid and cook for 8 minutes.
- After the pasta is done cooking, rinse and return to the pot. Combine steamed broccoli, butter, cheese, and garlic together while the pasta is still hot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste! Serve and enjoy!
