I have a feeling this will become my go-to dish during my exam period when I'm mentally exhausted and even the thought of cooking is too much to handle. Before becoming vegan one of my guilty pleasure (and very rarely consumed) foods were the sachets you buy containing dried pasta and seasoning that you simply add water/milk to; this cheesy broccoli pasta greatly exceeds the taste of those artificial pasta sachets, containing all natural ingredients & having a rich cheesy taste, despite no cheese substitute. The trick? Nutritional yeast. Though only recently getting my hands on nutritional yeast or 'nooch' as it's sometimes referred to, it has quickly become one of my favourite ingredients when it comes to making creamy sauces.
