Tenderstem Broccoli, Chilli and Garlic Spaghetti

Last night I threw this Tenderstem Broccoli, Chilli and Garlic 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 dinners 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!
