Original Recipe: Vegan Chicken and Broccoli over Spaghetti

Alright. So first things first, the name isn't 100% accurate. Honestly, you can use whatever pasta you want. Of course, whatever noodles I use are going to be gluten-free as well, and I prefer using more string-like noodles like fettuccine, angel hair, or even pad thai noodles (obviously not with pad thai sauce for this.) But like I said, really any pasta will work. This is a variation of a favorite recipe in my family, and my family has traditionally used spaghetti.

So what you will need:

• a regularly-sized package your choice of pasta, cooked (gluten-free if needed)
• 2 cups unsweetened alternative milk (I prefer flax milk)
• 2 tbs. corn starch
• 2 tbs. vegan butter
• garlic powder, salt, pepper to taste
• 1 small package of frozen broccoli, thawed (you can use broccoli with other veggies mixed in)
• 1 package of vegan chicken, chopped to bite-size (Beyond Meat is good for gluten-free people)
• vegan cheese, parmesan or mozzarella 
• microwave-safe pan that will hold all the pasta and also fit in the microwave, greased
• large microwave-safe bowl

How to make it:

• In microwave-safe bowl, melt vegan butter into alternative milk.
• Add cornstarch to the butter and milk, and whisk until evenly mixed.
• Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Mix thawed broccoli and chopped vegan chicken with the cream sauce.
• Spread cooked pasta evenly over the bottom of the pan. 
• Pour chicken, broccoli, and sauce over the pasta.
• Sprinkle on desired amount of vegan cheese.
• Microwave for 10 minutes on high or until veggies are hot. 
• Allow to cool to an edible temperature, and enjoy!

WOAH! That's so simple! Really. It's not very hard. It's also very satisfying because it has carbs, veggies, and protein all in one dish. If you want to look fancy, you can serve it with salad and / or vegan garlic bread, or you can eat it by itself.

Let me know if you tried it! Let me know if you made any alterations or substitutions, and how they turned out! If you have any pictures or reviews on this, I'd love to see them. I want to know what you thought.
