Ingredients
-
2 cups small shell pasta
-
3 tablespoons extra-virgin oil, divided
-
1 small leek, white part only, sliced
-
4 cups broccoli florets
-
½ cup vegetable broth, divided
-
1 (14 ounce) can butter beans, rinsed and drained
-
¼ cup nutritional yeast
-
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
-
1 clove garlic
-
¼ teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
¼ cup chopped roasted walnuts
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of cooking water.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add leek and cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes; do not brown. Add broccoli and 1/4 cup vegetable broth. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine butter beans, remaining vegetable broth, remaining olive oil, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a blender. Process until sauce is smooth.
-
Add cooked pasta and sauce to the skillet with the broccoli; toss to coat. Add reserved cooking water, a few tablespoons at a time, if the sauce appears too dry. Evenly divide among 4 bowls and top with nuts.
