If Kermit the Frig were a vegetable, he would be romanesco. |
Orchiette, or "little ears" are the perfect cups to scoop up this creamy sauce. |
Many of you have been asking for kitty updates, so here's the latest. The Three Stooges are all fine. Bossa Nova still sleeps on the job. She's getting sweeter – to me, at least. She still swats at Buttons and hisses at Pablo.
Pasta with Creamy Romanesco
- 2 heads romanesco, chopped and steamed
- 1 T olive oil
- Anywhere from a dash to 1 tsp paprika
- 5 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 cups bite-sized pasta [eg, orchiette, penne, farfalle, rotini]
- Salt, to taste
Serves 2
- Start cooking the pasta according to the directions on the box.
- Heat the oil in a medium pan and add paprika to taste [I use the whole teaspoon!]. Add garlic and saute until soft, about 4 minutes.
- Lower heat to medium-low. Add the milk and whisk in the nutritional yeast. Stir in the steamed romanesco and cook until warmed through and thick-ish, about 10 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and gently toss with the sauce. Add salt to taste.

You confirmed my suspicions about romanesco, thanks! Now I wish I bought it at Wegmans when I saw it there a little while ago, wonder if they still have any...
Now I really want to try it!I love bitter veggies, too, and I just bought some half-sharp paprika from Penzey's actually with you in mind (I want to make your chickpea paprikash!).

The cats are looking gorgeous, but that romeso is rather gnarly looking! We can't get it here. And who knew about christmas tree worms!
I might try this with some broccoli, arugula, kale and spinach (greens to bring on the bitter!) tonight.. Thanks
I tried this one with some kale and it was so delicious! Great dish, very flexible dish!
Everything you make looks sooo yummy!! I am saving your blog into my favourites :)
I am on a blog roll at the moment looking at all of the other vegan blogs out there.
