Not only is it delicious, it’s also gluten-free and vegan and comes together in just 30 minutes with 10 ingredients! It starts with roasting broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper until browned and tender. Then comes cooking the pasta. We like to use Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Brown Rice Quinoa Fusili as we’ve found it has the best taste and texture without compromising quality of ingredients. The pesto is made in a food processor by mixing basil, garlic, hemp seeds, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and sea salt, then drizzling in olive oil to achieve a creamy paste. Excuse us while we jump in for a swim. Finally, it’s time to assemble! Add your roasted broccoli, cooked pasta, and fresh pesto to a bowl along with sun-dried tomatoes and macadamia nut cheese (optional). Major swoon. The result is a delicious pasta salad perfect for make-ahead lunches, potlucks, picnics, or when you’re craving something nutrient-packed and comforting. We hope you LOVE this pasta salad.
