Difficulty: Beginner
Servings: 4

A silky broccoli sauce blended with cream cheese and cheddar, stirred through hot pasta. Family-friendly, fast, and freezer-friendly for future meals.

Ingredients

Servings: 4

  • 1⁄2 head broccoli (about 6–8 florets)
  • 1⁄2 cup cream cheese
  • 1⁄2 cup cheese (tasty or mild cheddar)
  • 1⁄4 cup milk of choice (regular cow’s milk used here)
  • 250 g dried pasta

Instructions

  1. Steam your broccoli and cook your pasta.
    Steam the broccoli for about 10 minutes, then place it in the fridge for ~5 minutes to cool. Hot liquids in a blender can cause pressure buildup. Cook the pasta according to package directions while the broccoli steams (both take ~10 minutes).
  2. Blend sauce ingredients.
    Add the steamed broccoli, milk, cream cheese, and cheddar/tasty cheese to a blender and blend until very smooth.
  3. Stir sauce through pasta.
    Place the cooked pasta in a bowl and pour over the sauce. Mix well. You can freeze part of the broccoli sauce for later—use a large ice cube tray and pop out portions when needed.
