Broccoli Pasta Recipes

Easy pasta dish for 2 people. Or for one with a meal for another day!

There are a lot of steps to this flavourful, vegan pasta dish, but you can do a lot of the prep ahead of time. The onion / garlic puree can be easily made up to a week ahead, and the chickpeas will keep their crunch for a day or two if kept in a container like a cookie tin - NOT a plastic bag! The toast takes only minutes (though it bust be served immediately), and can be done at the same time as the chickpeas by adding the bread tray to the oven when there are 15 minutes of roasting time left.

Good to make with leftover pasta. I use rotini.
Lite dressing and cheese will make it lower fat and calories.

This is an adaptation of a recipe from the grocery deli. Chopped onions can be added, and it can be multiplied for a family or picnic crowd.

A very low-calorie, and very tasty, meal!

So good and creamy! (Even if it does look a little 'plain' or 'brown' in the pic, LOL!) I don't know if it's outright 'healthy', but it's 'healthier'. ;-) [Created 2007-09-21.]

This can be a side dish but I like it as a nice meal in hot weather. It comes together quickly and without too much fuss.

The Alfredo sauce is NOT included in the calorie calculation, I add it separably (see my other recipe).
