Instructions
 

  • COOK THE PASTA: Cook your pasta according to the directions on the package. Set aside.
  • ROAST THE BROCCOLI: Preheat your oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with the oil and spices. Roast at 400F for 13-15 minutes.
  • MAKE THE SAUCE: While the broccoli is roasting, add all sauce ingredients to a small blender and blend until smooth. Add the contents of the blender to a medium sauce and turn the heat to medium high. Cook the sauce for about 5-7 minutes to let it thicken.
  • BRING IT TOGETHER: Remove sauce from heat and stir in the pasta. If your pasta has been sitting for a while, you may want to splash it with some hot water before adding it to the sauce. Then, stir in half of the broccoli. 
  • SERVE:  Serve this creamy pasta in a bowl topped with more roasted broccoli and some freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
