His other favorite pasta meals are my 20-Minute Pasta with Asparagus, Bell Pepper, and TomatoesJapchae (Korean Stir-Fried Noodles), Easy Asian Noodles and Vegan One Pot Taco Spaghetti.

How To Make Spaghetti With Broccoli

For this pasta and broccoli recipe, I cooked gluten-free spaghetti and then  I made a creamy cashew sauce with white sweet potato, then added broccoli for added nutrients. Broccoli is good for health, especially for our little ones. It is a powerful anti-oxidant and a great source of Vitamin C, beta=cartotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. Antioxidants prevent damage to our cells.

Broccoli contains calcium and Vitamin K which are both beneficial for bone health and prevention of osteoporosis. For more benefits of broccoli check here.
