Measuring Cups
Measuring Spoons

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.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons mustard

Warm the sauce with the pasta
Large pot
Wooden spoon

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.
