vegan lemon broccoli spaghetti! Easy enough that it’s calming to cook and luxurious enough to feel like prolonging the experience. Bright, zesty punches of lemon, tender pieces of broccoli, and delicate herby flavors from lemon juice and zest, rosemary, chili flakes, dijon mustard, miso, and nutritional yeast.
