It’s World Food Waste Day, and we’re showing you a recipe that uses the WHOLE vegetable - no waste here! ✨ Broccoli stem pasta ✨ 🥦 Broccoli stems are full of nutrients, fibre, antioxidants and vitamins - including Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Folate, and other important vitamins and minerals. Let us know in the comments your favourite tips to help reduce food waste! 👇 Recipe inspired by @craigamorrison 💚 Here’s how to make it (serves 2) - Ingredients: 1 broccoli 200g pasta 3 garlic gloves 1 tsp dried chilli flakes 1L vegetable stock 20g nutritional yeast 50g breadcrumbs 1 lemon, zested and juiced Salt and pepper Method: 1. Cut off the broccoli florets and add to a boiling pot of vegetable stock - simmer for 8 minutes, until cooked. 2. Use the same vegetable stock to cook your pasta (make sure to save 200ml of pasta water before draining) 3. To make your breadcrumb topping, simply heat oil in a pan, add the pepper, breadcrumbs and half of the nutritional yeast. Fry until golden and then stir in your lemon zest and salt. Set aside. 4. Add to a pan your oil, diced broccoli stems, diced garlic, and chilli flakes, and let it caramelise (adding a dash of water if it starts to stick). Once the stems have softened, add your broccoli florets and lightly mash it all together. 5. Pour in the reserved pasta water and pasta, mix together and heat through for 1 final minute. Remove from the heat and add in the lemon juice and the remaining nutritional yeast. 6. Serve pasta into two bowls and top with your breadcrumb mix.
