    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 In a pot over medium-high heat, place spring onion, garlic, broccoli and stock with 1 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, until veges are just tender.

    2 Remove from heat. Add rocket, half of the parmesan and stir. Using a stick blender, puree mix to make a smooth sauce.

    3 While sauce cooks, make pasta according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving a little pasta water.

    4 Add pasta to sauce along with edamame and spinach. Place over a low heat and combine. Toss to coat pasta, adding pasta water to loosen the sauce.

    5 Serve pasta garnished with plenty of black pepper and remaining parmesan. Add chilli flakes, if desired.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free pasta and check stock or miso is gluten free.

    HFG tip

    Mix 1 tsp miso paste with ½ cup water instead of vegetable stock.

    NOTE: If you have a nut allergy and are using packaged goods in recipes, please check the allergen warning on the packet regarding nuts.
