Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Add your choice of dried pasta and broccoli florets, cooking for 8-10 minutes until the pasta is al dente, and the broccoli is tender yet vibrant. Drain the mixture.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the drained cannellini beans and sauté for about 2 minutes until heated through and slightly golden.
  3. In a blender, combine the sautéed cannellini beans, nutritional yeast, 1 cup of unsweetened plant-based milk, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  4. Return the drained pasta and broccoli to the saucepan over low heat. Pour in the creamy Alfredo sauce and gently toss until completely coated and heated through. Serve immediately.
