Creamy broccoli Protein Butternut pasta

Ingredients

The protein fix butternut pasta
4 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons flour
2 ½ cups plain, unsweetened cashew milk (or your favorite plant milk)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 – 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast, optional
Broccoli, amount desired 
Mineral salt & fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Method

Cook pasta & broccoli: Cook your pasta according to package and set aside. Steam broccoli using your preferred method. If you like you can cook your broccoli with the pasta. Just be sure you’ve added enough water to the pot. To do this I would suggest adding the broccoli to the cooking pasta 3 minutes before pasta is done. Broccoli is at it’s best when it turns its brightest green.

Cream sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat, add the flour and whisk until smooth. Continue to cook for another 1 ½ minutes. Slowly add in the almond milk and continue to whisk until smooth. Add in garlic powder, onion powder and salt to taste. Turn heat to medium low and cook another 8 minutes until sauce thickens, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and add optional nutritional yeast. Stir until well incorporated and taste for flavor adding more salt or garlic/onion powder as needed.
Mix all together and enjoy

Serves 4-6
