Ingredients

3 servings pasta
1 cup broccoli florets, packed, cut into small bite sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup marinated artichokes drained, roughly chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup vegetable broth
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/3 cup fresh parsley packed, chopped
1/3 cup fresh basil packed, chopped
Red chili flakes for serving
Fresh herbs for serving

Instructions

Cook the pasta in salted water until just barely al dente. Drain.
Meanwhile, cut and saute the broccoli florets in 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium heat for 5 minutes until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. It is fine if they get a bit browned.
Add the cooked pasta and the remaining ingredients and cook together for another minute or two in the pan until pasta is cooked.
