Ingredients

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup broccoli stems finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegan Parmesan cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3 minutes, or just until slightly tender. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked broccoli to a colander in the sink. Leave the cooking water in the pot. Rinse the broccoli with cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat the florets dry and set them aside.
  • Into the same pot of water used for the broccoli add the spaghetti. Cook according to package directions for al dente consistency. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  • Into a large, deep skillet over medium-low heat, add the olive oil and butter. When the butter is melted, add the sliced broccoli stems. Cook for 3 minutes, until slightly tender. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper and continue cooking for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the broccoli florets, tossing to coat.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the spaghetti and cook for 3 minutes to heat through, tossing to coat. Remove from heat, stir in Parmesan cheese, and serve hot.
