Broccoli Pasta 

Simple ingredients come together to create complex flavours and it’s ready in 10 minutes! You can’t go wrong with this easy dinner. This is a great meal for a little one feeling under the weather as the broccoli adds vitamin C and garlic is naturally immune boosting and the avocado adds a good dose of healthy fat.

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 avocado

3 tbsps Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp hemp hearts

 

Then...

1. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. 2 minutes before the pasta is cooked, add in the broccoli.
2. Heat the butter or oil in a pan and sauté the garlic for a couple of minutes.
3. Chop the avocado into small cubes and set aside.
4. Drain the pasta and broccoli and then in a bowl pour over the butter mixture and add the Parmesan cheese. Stir gently.
5. Top with the avocado and hemp hearts.

 

Make it vegan:

Use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese and oil in place of the butter.
