Vegan penne alfredo w/ broccoli
Ingredients:
  • 1 box of multigrain pasta
  • 1 large broccoli crown or 2 small broccoli crowns
  • 16 oz raw unsalted cashews (if salted rinse clean)
  • 2 potatoes (cooked and peeled)
  • 1 1/2 c of unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 fresh garlic cloves
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tbsp Mrs. Dash
  • 1 tsp pepper
Instructions:
  1. Cook your penne according to the box instructions, boil your potatoes and partially steam your broccoli then set all aside.
  2. In a food processor add in your unsalted cashews, 2 fully cooked potatoes, garlic, onion, almond milk, olive oil, salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash and about half a cup of your starchy pasta water then blend until you see that your cream sauce has formed. You can give it a taste to see if you need to adjust that flavor by adding more salt or not.
  3. Now in your medium-low heated skillet add in your cashew cream sauce (allow to get warm), penne and broccoli. Give the penne and broccoli a good few stirs into the cream sauce mixture to allow everything to marry together.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and allow the pasta to simmer for about 5 minutes and then you’re done. (Allow the pasta to cool before serving)
