Directions:
Start by heating up your olive oil on medium heat in a saucepan. Add in your onions and garlic and sauté until golden brown.
Add in your water/veggie broth and almond milk and mix. Add in your chopped cauliflower and simmer until your cauliflower is fork tender.
Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add it in along with the rest of the sauce ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
For the broccoli, heat up the olive oil in a small skillet. Add in your chopped broccoli and fry until cooked.
To assemble, add your cooked pasta of choice, broccoli, and lemon garlic sauce to a bowl. Enjoy!
