Ingredients
Method
In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta for 5 minutes. Add broccoli; cook until pasta is al dente, 3 to 5 minutes. Reserving 1/2 cup of cooking liquid, drain well.
Meanwhile, in large deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook shallots, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Mix in reserved cooking liquid, tahini, lemon zest and juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Add pasta and broccoli to skillet; mix gently to coat well. Divide pasta among plates; garnish with sprinkle of walnuts and Vegan Parmesan.
Vegan Parmesan
In food processor, pulse 1/3 cup cashews, almonds or walnuts until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Mix in 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, and 1/2 tsp each salt and garlic salt. (Make-ahead: Can be stored in airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.)
Makes about 3/4 cup.
