Cheesy Broccoli Pasta Recipe for Toddlers and Kids
Cheesy Saucy Broccoli Pasta is my first recipe with Broccoli on the blog I believe. Broccoli is a powerhouse of nutrition, but I have not cooked for more than 5 times in all six years I hope. This is because it is a seasonal crop and not a local variety. We don’t get it all over India, all through the year. Of all the dishes I have tried with broccoli, I love the creamy soup and this pasta recipe

Broccoli is a rich source of Vitamin C and Vitamin K and also very abundant in antioxidants and fibres. Broccoli intake helps in digestion, reducing ageing, improving immunity and solves inflammation and constipation issues. I have used whole wheat pasta from FabIndia.You can check other pasta recipes here

P.S
I missed clicking the step by step pictures.
Ensure that the sauce doesn’t thicken much.
Low flame and continuously stirring are the keys for the right sauce.
You can add a drop of oil while boiling pasta.
Gently toss and don’t stir vigorously after adding pasta and broccoli to the sauce.
If you find the sauce very flowy, add broccoli+pasta to the sauce and cook for a minute.
