vegan broccoli pasta

Nothing can be more satisfying than a bowl of pasta for dinner. But rather than having it with a creamy sauce, add some roasted vegetables, toasted pine nuts and dash of olive oil for a healthier option. This dish, although quite light will leave you full and satisfied for hours.
