A creamy, comforting baked pasta dish packed with broccoli and chickpeas, offering a high-fiber, protein-rich vegan dinner that’s easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale

12 oz pasta
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tbsp vegan butter
1 tbsp chickpea flour
1–2 cups dairy-free milk
1/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt vegan butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 2-3 mins until translucent.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Sprinkle in chickpea flour, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Whisk for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in dairy-free milk until smooth. Simmer for 2-3 mins to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in vegan parmesan.
  6. Add uncooked pasta, drained chickpeas, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir to coat in the sauce.
  7. Cover tightly with a lid or foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until pasta is al dente.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free pasta if needed.
  • Do not pre-cook the pasta; it bakes directly in the sauce.
  • Add a splash more milk before baking if the mixture seems dry.
