    2 to 3 cups vegetable stock
  • Partially cover the pot and boil pasta on medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until al dente. Remove the cover altogether if it’s boiling over and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli, spinach, coconut milk, nutritional yeast and fresh basil.

  • Reduce heat to low and cook until the veggies have been steamed and the sauce thickens. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve immediately.

NOTES

  • Other short pastas such as fusilli, penne, gemelli and rotini can also work.
  • A handful of fresh herbs can be used in place of dried.
  • Vegan cheese can be used in place of nutritional yeast.
  • Oat or cashew milk can be used instead of coconut milk.
  • Try other leafy greens such as kale or Swiss chard.
  • Add mushrooms for even more “meaty” flavour.
  • Add beans, lentils or vegan ground meat for extra protein.
