Recipe of the week
Roast Broccoli and walnut with pasta
One of my favourites! Walnuts, cheese and broccoli go so well together. 7 simple ingredients and 20 minute cooking time, what's not to like! Easy to make into a vegan dish. Protein is walnuts and it will contain one of your 5 A DAY!
Take 1 head of broccoli, cut into large slices, place on a roasting tray and drizzle over with oil. Scatter over a large handful of walnuts, a sprinkle of chilli flakes and roast in a hot oven (200 degrees C).
Meanwhile, heat a pan of water and when boiling add pasta, 2 or 3 large handfuls will be enough for 2 people (ideally wholemeal).
When the pasta is cooked, drain but reserve a little of the cooking water. Return the pasta to the pan with the reserved water, grate in 30-40g mature cheddar OR to make vegan add 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast and a large teaspoon white miso paste. Stir so the pasta is coated with a cheesy flavoursome sauce.
Dish up into bowls and top with the roasted broccoli and walnuts. Finish with another grating of cheese if needed and some black pepper. Yum
