Ingredients for Broccoli Cheese Sauce
How to make Spicy Garlic Spaghetti in Broccoli Cheese Sauce
- Firstly, I blended blanched broccoli florets along with raw cashew nuts and nutritional yeast to get a creamy and or cheesy texture.
- Then, To make it flavorsome I threw in some herbs and spices.
- Lastly, I poured in some unsweetened and lightened coconut milk and lemon juice. Its thick and creamy texture was absolutely beautiful and desirable.
- Thereafter, I heated little olive oil in a wok/pan and added in some garlic. You may use fresh or dried chopped garlic. Also, you may play around with this recipe a bit. So if you really like strong garlic flavor then go ahead and increase its quantity.
- Then, immediately I added broken dry red chilies. This spiced up the spaghetti and increased its flavor to the sky level.
- Later, I tossed in boiled spaghetti.
- Lastly, I covered the spaghetti with the blended Broccoli Cheese Sauce.
- Afterwards, I tossed it gently making sure that the noodles don’t break too much and served immediately.
Irresistible and delicious spaghetti dish with immense nutrition was ready within minutes. We all loved this Spicy Garlic Spaghetti in Broccoli Cheese Sauce. It brought a satisfying smile to everybody’s face.
However, for Yashvi, I skipped the red chili part because kids don’t want to eat too spicy food. Yet, it tasted amazing and she went gaga over it.
This dish is also a great way to include broccoli into fussy eaters diet without their knowing the exact ingredients.

- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton/tetra pack)
- 1/4 cup water

Notes
- I used tetra pack of coconut milk which is lighter in consistency. If you use canned coconut milk then increase the quantity of water by ¼ cup more.
- This recipe calls for a thick creamy sauce but feel free to lighten up the consistency by adding more coconut milk or water according to your requirement. Also adjust salt accordingly.
