Ingredients
- 220g dried macaroni
- 1 small head cauliflower (about 250g), cut into florets
- 1/2 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 180ml almond milk
- 50g unsalted cashews, chopped and soaked for at least 2 hours
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice from ½ lemon
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp turmeric
- 2 tbsp paprika powder
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add in the chopped garlic and onion and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add turmeric, paprika and nutmeg and sauté for another minute.
3. Pour in the almond milk, while stirring continuously.
4. Add cauliflower, cashews, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover with a lid and cook for about 20 minutes.
5. In the meantime, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets, season with sea salt and pepper and add 2 tbsp water. Cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes, until the broccoli is crisp-tender. Set aside.
6. Once the cauliflower is soft, use a hand blender or transfer to a food processor to blend until you’ve got a smooth sauce. Add another 1-2 tbsp almond milk if the sauce is too thick. Add in the pasta and broccoli and mix well. Season with some more salt and pepper if needed.
