This broccoli pasta sauce is not only delicious and a fun colour, but full of fibre, vitamins and minerals! It is perfect for all ages, even your little ones will love it! Packed with veggies, it is great for meal prepping, as it makes a large yield, or when you need a quick healthy meal, for it requires minimal time (or skill)! Broccoli, avocados, and spinach are high in fibre, which will keep you feeling full for longer. It can also aid in reducing your blood cholesterol levels and lower your risk for heart disease and stroke. Spinach is rich in vitamins A, C, and K as well as iron, folate and magnesium, all important for regular bodily functions, including blood clotting and bone structure. Cashews and avocados provide healthy fats which also contributes to satiety and gives this sauce a wonderful creaminess! Using pasta made from chickpeas and lentil or brown rice are a great additional source of fibre and protein (and is gluten-free!), but the pasta choice is completely up to you. Feel free to skip the cheese, it will still taste delicious without it, and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
