How To Make Sausage And Broccoli Pasta
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the Fiber Gourmet Rotini pasta according to package instructions, adding the broccoli during the last 5 to 6 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
2
In a large saute pan, cook the vegan sausage according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside.
3
In the same pan over medium heat, add the vegan butter and olive oil. Once melted, add the minced garlic and white wine. Cook, stirring constantly, until the wine reduces and the garlic becomes fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4
Add the cooked rotini, broccoli, and sausage back into the pan. Sprinkle in the nutritional yeast and toss to combine. Slowly add the reserved pasta water, mixing until the sauce becomes cohesive and evenly coats the pasta.
5
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then finish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular sausage instead of vegan sausage?
Yes. You can use regular Italian sausage, chicken sausage, or turkey sausage. Just cook it fully before adding it back to the pasta.
Can I make this recipe without white wine?
Yes. Replace the white wine with vegetable broth or a little pasta water. You will still get a flavorful garlic sauce.
Why should I save pasta water?
Pasta water helps the sauce become smooth and creamy. Add it slowly so the sauce coats the rotini nicely without becoming too watery.
Can I add more vegetables to this pasta?
Yes. Spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, or peas would work well. Add softer vegetables near the end so they do not overcook.
