Vegan Broccoli Cream Taglietelle
- 1 (10 ounce) packagespelt tagliatelle pasta noodles (or any other you prefer, roughly 10oz)
- 2 heads broccoli, florets separated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 12 onion, diced (Red or White)
- 13 cup pine nuts
- 1 teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
- 2 cups non-dairy cream (for sauces, not Whipping)
- 1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon or English)
- grated soy cheese (optional)
- salt & crushed black pepper
- Cook Pasta according to directions (remember to add salt and olive oil to water).
- Additionally, boil water in a seperate saucepan for Broccoli.
- If you are feeling very lazy you can boil the Broccoli in the water for 3-4 minutes when the pasta is about done, or you can steam it for about 5-6 minutes in a colander over the pan, until bright green & very soft.
- Drain and set aside.
- Heat oil in a sauce pan add Garlic, Onions and Pine nuts, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until ingredients start to brown.
- Add Basil and give it a quick stir.
- Add Broccoli and try to crush with a fork or wooden spoon until mushy with some pieces intact, then add Cream and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- (Alternatively, you can blitz half the mixture at the end).
- Stir in Mustard and let it simmer (don't boil) for another two minutes.
- At this point you can add some grated soy cheese if you want, but it really doesn't add that much flavor.
- Season with Salt, and a good helping of fresh Black Pepper.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce, serve immediately and dig in!
