This creamy broccoli pasta recipe comes together fast and makes a delicious and comforting meatless meal! It's great for a quick and easy yet totally satisfying meal for your little ones.
Broccoli is a true superfood for babies, thanks to high amounts of vitamin C, beta-carotene, folic acid, iron, potassium, and fiber. Boiling broccoli in water cuts its vitamin C content in half, so it's best to steam or microwave it.
Ingredients
- 50-60g uncooked pasta
- 4-5 broccoli florets, cooked in boiling water or steamed
- 2 big tablespoons of cream cheese/vegan cream cheese*
- 1 teaspoon lazy garlic or 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste - optional
Directions
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the pack.
Heat the olive oil in a medium pan, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set apart.
Place the cream cheese in a food processor then add the broccoli and a couple of spoonfuls of pasta water. Season with salt and pepper if you wish and pulse until smooth and creamy. You may need to add a dash more water until you reach the consistency you like best.
Coat your cooked pasta with the broccoli sauce.
Serve with some grated Parmesan, if desired.
