Can I serve the pasta with green sauce warm or cold?

The pasta with green sauce can be served either warm or cold, depending on your preference.

Which pasta should I choose for this creamy broccoli sauce?

In this recipe, I deliberately choose pasta trafilata al bronzo (bronze-drawn pasta). This pasta has a rougher, duller surface than regular pasta. Why is that so great? Because that delicious, velvety green pasta sauce adheres perfectly to the pasta instead of sliding directly to the bottom of your plate. Choose a fun shape like rigatoni, conchiglie (shells), or fusilli that holds the sauce extra well!

Can I substitute the goat cheese in the broccoli sauce if I don't like it?

Of course, cooking is all about tasting and adjusting to your own preferences! The fresh goat cheese adds a delicious, fresh, and slightly tangy note to the sauce, but you can easily replace it with ricotta or mascarpone for an extra mild and creamy flavor. Would you prefer it completely vegan or dairy-free? Then use a ripe avocado and two tablespoons of nutritional yeast in the blender to mimic that creamy texture when making the broccoli sauce.

How can I pimp up this pasta with broccoli sauce even more?

This basic recipe is already an absolute winner, but you can go in any direction with it. Finish the dish with some extra Parmesan cheese, crispy spring onion, and fresh cherry tomatoes for a delicious, colorful crunch. Craving an extra savory touch? Then stir in some crispy fried bacon bits, pieces of grilled chicken, roasted pine nuts, or a handful of shrimp at the end. Delicious!
