    💙 Why you'll love them

    • They are very simple to make, ideal for a lazy evening.
    • They are in season.
    • They are absolutely delicious and creamy.

    🥦 Ingredients

    These are the main ingredients, and the quantities can be found in the recipe card below.

    • Broccoli: in season from September to November included.
    • Garlic and shallots.
    • Pasta: even better fresh! I recommend long pasta, which holds the sauce well, such as Papardelle, Linguine or Spaghetti.
    • Cheeses: Parmesan (buy it in pieces and grate it yourself if possible, it's a thousand times better) and ricotta.
    • Basil.

    ✅ Vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free version

    • To make this cream of broccoli pasta vegan, replace the Parmesan with the vegan grated cheese of your choice and the ricotta with a vegan cream cheese. Most pasta is made from wheat semolina, and therefore vegan.
    • To make this recipe gluten-free, buy gluten-free pasta and check that your ricotta and Parmesan cheeses are gluten-free.
    • To make this recipe dairy-free, replace the Parmesan and ricotta cheeses with plant-based vegan cheeses of your choice.

    💡 Frequently Asked Questions

    What if I have some sauce left over?

    If you have any sauce left over, I love to add vegetable stock to make a comforting soup/velouté.

    ❄️Storage

    Store pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days. They may dry out slightly, so I recommend adding a little water before reheating them in the microwave.
