Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 ounces pasta of choice
  • 3 cups broccoli
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 2 cups fresh basil
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup cashew parmesan (click for recipe)
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • Black pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions.
  • Add the chopped broccoli florets to a pot with about an inch of water and cover. Steam for 5-10 minutes or until just fork tender. Drain off the excess water and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Once the broccoli has cooled slightly, add to a food processor along with all remaining ingredients. Process until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust flavors as desired, or thin it out with more oil or a splash of water, but I like to keep it on the thicker side.
  • Combine the sauce with the pasta and stir to combine. Stir in a large handful of fresh arugula. Top with extra cashew parmesan, red pepper flakes & enjoy!
