  • 1 tsp onion granules

  • 1/2 tsp garlic granules

  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast

  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.

  • Cook the pasta for 10 minutes while making the sauce.
  • In a pan, melt the vegan butter. Stir in the flour to form a paste. Add the soya milk to the pot a little at a time, stirring constantly.
  • Add the mustard, onion granules, garlic granules, and 1/2 cup nutritional yeast and mix well. Set aside.
  • Add the broccoli to the pasta 2 to 3 minutes before it finishes cooking.
  • Remove the asparagus from the oven and chop into chunks. Lower the oven temperature to 180°C.
  • Drain the pasta and broccoli and return to the pan. Add the asparagus and the sauce. Mix well until everything is coated. Transfer to an ovenproof dish.
  • Pulse the bread into crumbs in a food processor then add the remaining nutritional yeast. Sprinkle over the pasta.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
