• My kids love pasta, so combining it with broccoli
  is a winning combination. Raising vegetarian kids
  means Im always looking at ways to add more
  vegetables to their meals. Even though they are
  thriving as vegetarians, their vegetable
  repertoire isnt vast yet. I think its just a
  kid thing right!
• Broccoli is one vegetable theyd eat every day so
  at every opportunity I slip this magnificent
  green tree into their meals. This dish can be put
  together in 15 minutes and requires four
  ingredients. Thats it!

• INGREDIENTS -
• Half head of broccoli
• 1 to 2 cloves of garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Teaspoon salt

• METHOD
• Chop up broccoli and boil or steam until soft.
• Once cooked strain and put aside half a cup of
  the water you boiled the broccoli in as you may
  need this.
• Saute the chopped garlic in a fry pan with olive
  oil.
• Once starting to brown add the cooked broccoli
  and half of the water you set aside. With a fork
  or potato masher, mash the broccoli until soft.

• Add a pinch or two of salt and let the broccoli
  simmer at medium to low heat for 10 minutes. The
  sauce doesnt need to cook for long as the
  broccoli is already cooked. Cook long enough to
  infuse the garlic and olive oil flavours through
  the broccoli.
• Add more water or olive oil if the broccoli sauce
  is too thick.
• Always taste as you cook so you can add more salt
  if needed. I like to add some extra olive oil to
  this sauce at the end once cooked.
• Boil the rigatoni, strain and then toss through
  the broccoli sauce.
• Serve with your choice of Parmesan. I use
  nutritional yeast as my vegan alternative.
