Angel Hair with Broccoli, Lemon and Miso

SERVES 4

30 minutes or fewer

30 minutes or fewer The contrasting flavors and textures in this dish are bright and satisfying. Meal Plan: Try this with some whole wheat Italian bread and a salad of mixed greens, tomato and cucumber.
  • 1 Tbs. olive oil
  • 3 to 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 bunch broccoli, stalks sliced and florets reserved
  • ½ red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  • 12 oz. angel hair pasta
  • 2 Tbs. chickpea miso
  • 1 ½ tsp. flaxseed oil (optional)
  • Soy Parmesan (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  1. In large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a boil.
  2. Meanwhile, in large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, 30 seconds. Add broccoli stalks and cook, stirring often, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add bell pepper and vegetable broth and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes.
  3. Add broccoli florets, lemon juice and basil. Cook until broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add pasta to boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook until pasta is just tender, about 7 minutes; drain well.
  5. Add pasta to pan with vegetables and toss to mix. Remove pan from heat. Add miso and toss to mix. Transfer to shallow serving bowl.
  6. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Drizzle flaxseed oil (if using) over pasta and sprinkle with soy Parmesan and pinch of red pepper flakes if using. Serve hot.

would not make again. there was way too much pasta and not enough veggies/sauce. my son would have liked it with more lemon flavor, and my partner suggested a cream sauce would be better.
