BROCCOLI-DILL PASTA



Broccoli-Dill Pasta image

Bryant Terry, an Oakland, Calif., chef with two young daughters, developed this recipe to make eating broccoli a treat. It worked: Blanched and puréed with lemon, garlic and a little of what he calls "umami powder," the broccoli transforms into a deeply flavorful vegan spread that's also highly adaptable. Thin it with pasta water and toss it with hot noodles, as seen here, or scrape it into a bowl as a dip for crudités. Spread it onto a thick piece of toast and cover it with sliced radishes, dill and crunchy salt. Use some to drown a softly poached egg, drizzle with olive oil, and eat with a spoon, or to dress warm white beans, then shower them with black pepper and grated cheese. Whatever you do, don't skip rinsing the broccoli with cold water after you blanch it; the step keeps the spread a vibrant green.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings, plus extra umami powder

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms, roughly chopped
3/4 cup whole raw cashews
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons raw pine nuts
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium head broccoli, cut into florets, thick stem reserved for another use
8 ounces dried pasta, such as spaghetti
1/2 cup loosely packed roughly chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup umami powder
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Fresh lemon juice, as needed

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  • Prepare the umami powder: Grind the porcini in a spice grinder until pulverized, then transfer to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and pulse until the mixture is broken down into a fine meal. Transfer to a jar or lidded container. (Makes about 1 1/4 cups.)
  • Prepare the pasta: Season the boiling water with salt, then add the broccoli and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the broccoli, then rinse with cold water and gently pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until tender.
  • While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: In the same food processor (no need to wash it out), combine the cooked broccoli, dill, garlic and 1/3 cup umami powder; process until finely chopped. With the machine running, slowly pour in the oil. Scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula, and blend again, then season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and drain the cooked pasta. Return the pasta to the pot, and toss with broccoli sauce, thinning with a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to help coat the pasta. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with a sprinkle of umami powder and fresh dill.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli will have a sweeter, more vibrant flavor than broccoli that has been sitting in the fridge for a while. If you can, try to buy broccoli that was harvested within the last few days.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is just tender-crisp. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the broccoli: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts on the broccoli. This will make the salad look more appealing and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your broccoli salad. Some popular additions include bacon, cheese, nuts, and seeds.
  • Make the salad ahead of time: Broccoli salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for potlucks and other gatherings.
