Directions: |
Directions:Prepare the broccoli by removing the light-colored leaves as well as the bottom portion of the stems
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.
Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water and then blanch broccoli for about 1 minute. Drain the broccoli and immediately add it to the ice bath for 1 minute. Drain and transfer the broccoli to a cutting board. Cut the stems into bit sized pieces and set aside.
Bring another medium pot of water to boil and prepare pasta according to package instructions. Drain and do not rinse.
In a separate pan, add in the vegan sausages and cook until caramelized and browned. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside. In the same pan in the leftover oil from the sausage, add in the garlic and shallots and sauté until fragrant and translucent. Add in the red pepper flakes and cook for about 1 minute more, stirring often.
Add in the broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, vegan sausage and cooked pasta. Mix ingredients through until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Allow the mixture to cook for a minute or two more on low heat, stirring often, until everything is warmed through.
Serve with a generous sprinkle of both vegan parmesan cheese and parsley. Enjoy! |
