Roasted Broccoli Pesto Pasta
- 2 cups broccoli, chopped into florets
- 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 small bell pepper, sliced
- 1 box pasta of your choosing, gluten free or non
- Olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- (Optional) 1/4 cup heavy cream or non-dairy milk
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Parmesan (for garnish)
Pesto
- 2 cups fresh basil, stems removed
- 1/2 cup pine nuts or sliced almonds
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tbs lemon juice
- 1/4 cup parmesan (vegan or dairy)
Directions
- Make the pesto by mixing all of the ingredients in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Chop the broccoli, toss lightly in olive oil and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Place on a roasting tray and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until lightly crisp.
- Cook the pasta according to its packaging.
- Sauté the chopped onion and pepper in olive oil on a large skillet on medium heat. Cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper and Italian seasoning.
- Once the broccoli is roasted and the veggies are sautéed, add about 1/3 of your pesto to the pan. You may choose to make the pesto more sauce-y by adding the cream or non-dairy milk. Reduce heat to low. Add in the cooked pasta, stir until all of the ingredients are incorporated.
- Garnish with extra parmesan and red pepper flakes. Serve and enjoy!
