Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: quarter the potatoes, then slice each quarter into 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick pieces; separate the broccoli into florets; measure the green peas; chop the leek (4 oz); mince 2–3 cloves garlic; measure tomato paste (1 Tbsp), dried rosemary (1/2 tsp), olive oil (1 Tbsp), nutritional yeast (3 tsp), salt (1/4 tsp), and black pepper (1/8 tsp). Have 4 cups hot water ready.
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil.
- Add the chopped leek and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
- Add the sliced potatoes, 1 Tbsp tomato paste, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Pour in 2 cups of the hot water, stir, cover the pot, and cook for 10 minutes, until the potatoes are soft when pierced with a fork.
- Uncover and mash the potatoes in the pot with a fork, leaving some larger chunks so the mixture becomes a creamy sauce with pieces of potato.
- Add the remaining 2 cups hot water and the 9 oz pasta to the pot. Stir to combine, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for a total of 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- With about 2 minutes of pasta cooking time remaining, add the broccoli florets (5 oz), green peas (2 oz), and 3 tsp nutritional yeast. Stir, cover, and finish cooking until the pasta is tender and the vegetables are heated through.
- Remove from heat, give everything a final stir to combine, and serve.
Notes
Notes
If you are using gluten-free pasta, you should cook it separately. It usually releases too much starch and may thicken the sauce too much.
Add more hot water if the pasta still needs to be ready, but the sauce is already too thick. It should be a very creamy pasta dish at the end.
