A healthy spin on a classic dish!
Ingredients
- 1 cup pasta cooked according to package instructions
- 2 tbsp olive oil separated
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1/2 white onion minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 3/4 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk we prefer plain rice milk for its neutral flavor

- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 small head of broccoli chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- Heat up 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large saucepan over low-medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
- Whisk in the second tbsp of olive oil and flour until they are fully incorporated.
- Slowly whisk in the rice milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder and salt until all ingredients are well combined. Bring to a boil.
- Turn back down to low-medium heat and stir in the broccoli.
- Let the mixture heat covered (lifting the lid and stirring occasionally) for about 5 minutes.
- Uncover and cook for another 5 minutes.
