Tenderstem Brocolli with Chilli and Galic Spaghetti - Fab Food 4 All

Last night I threw this Tenderstem Broccoli Spaghetti together as I had a pack of Tenderstem broccoli that needed using up.

I wanted to make something quick so my first though was pasta! I then remembered a lovely pasta dish I once had in Carluccios many years ago for a mum’s night out, it was just chilli, garlic and pasta from what I remember (this goes back about 8 years).

So with that food memory my Tenderstem Broccoli, Chilli and Garlic Spaghetti dish came to be!

I called my family down for dinner and 3 happy diners announced that the dish was delicious and in no time all our plates were empty.

I’ll definitely be making this vegan Tenderstem Broccoli, Chilli and Garlic Spaghetti again as  it only takes 20 minutes to make. Plus hubby didn’t even say where’s the meat!

    Vegetable based pasta dishes are and excellent idea, I think we often get tied up in the belief that pasta dishes have to be meat or fish based

    That looks delicious and healthy.
    Spaghetti seems to taste best served simply with couple ingredients, just like this one.
    I know I would enjoy it as sprouting broccoli is one of my favourite veggies.

    This is usually our go-to for a quick and easy pasta dish. It just shows that you don’t really need to have a sauce, just some olive oil and garlic.
