Instructions
- Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, chop the broccoli into florets and finely chop the garlic.
- Steam the broccoli until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together almond milk, tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, and the seasonings: salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to taste.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a cheese-like sauce, about 5 minutes.
- In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the steamed broccoli to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the sautéed garlic and broccoli, then pour the cheese sauce over the top. Mix everything together until well coated.
- Serve the pasta hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness with a healthy twist.
