Cook this recipe
- whole wheat elbow macaroni-12 oz
- broccoli florets-4 cups
- canned cannellini beans-1 can
- unsweetened oat milk-2 cups
- nutritional yeast-0.5 cups
- olive oil-1 tbsp
- lemon juice-1 tbsp
- Dijon mustard-2 tsp
- ground turmeric-1 tsp
- garlic powder-1 tsp
- kosher salt-1 tsp
- black pepper-0.25 tsp
Rinse and drain the cannellini beans, measure the sauce ingredients, and keep the broccoli florets near the stove.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add the whole wheat elbow macaroni, and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the broccoli florets to the same pot and cook 3 to 4 minutes more, until the pasta is al dente and the broccoli is bright green.
Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and broccoli and return them to the warm pot off the heat.
Pour hot pasta water away from your body and keep hands clear of the steam while draining.
In a blender, combine the cannellini beans, oat milk, nutritional yeast, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; blend until smooth and creamy.
Secure the blender lid firmly before blending to prevent the sauce from splashing out.
Pour the golden turmeric sauce over the pasta and broccoli, set the pot over low heat, and stir for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce is glossy and warmed through.
Keep the heat low and stir steadily so the thick sauce warms without sticking or scorching.
Add reserved pasta water 2 tablespoons at a time as needed until the mac is creamy but not heavy, then taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
Let portions cool slightly before serving to children.
