Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add a pinch of sea salt. Add the orzo and boil until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Strain, then add it back to the pot and cover until the sauce is done. 2. While the orzo cooks, make the alfredo sauce. Strain and rinse the beans. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent. Stir in the beans and saute until warm. Remove from heat. 3. Add the bean, onion, and garlic mixture to a high-powered blender along with the unsweetened milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, remaining olive oil, and sea salt. Blend until very smooth. 4. Pour the sauce into the pot with the cooked orzo and heat over low-medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and cook until warm. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
