Ingredients

  • 1 broccoli
  • 250 g wholewheat pasta
  • ½ cup pine nuts
  • 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 5 tablespoon green pesto vegan
  • Herbs and spices: black pepper, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, turmeric
  • Toppings: Vegan cheese, fresh basil leaves, chives

Instructions

  • Boil your favourite pasta and broccoli (separately- make sure not too overcook your broccoli – it’s better to drain it while it’s still a little bit hard than to overcook it)
  • Roast pine nuts and sesame seeds (use no oil) in a non-stick pan. Be careful not too burn them as that tends to happen very quickly!
  • When your pasta is cooked, remove water and add broccoli, then stir through a couple of spoons of green pesto, seasoning and nuts.
  • Add the vegan cheese of your choice and keep in mind that parmesan-like cheeses will work best! Sprinkle some chives and basil leaves on top.
  • Stir through once again and it’s all done! Voila! HAPPY AND MINDFUL MUNCHING!
