- Pre-heat oven to 475. Line a baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Cut broccoli and cauliflower (as necessary) into small pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Lay out on prepared baking sheet(s) and roast 15- 20 min. until lightly browned.
- While veggies roast, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, set aside, and lightly drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking (optional).
- Heat/melt butter/ghee or vegan butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add/sauté garlic and red pepper if using. Remove from heat once garlic is fragrant.
- When broccoli and cauliflower are done, remove from oven, transfer to skillet, and toss with garlic/butter mixture.
- Add pasta, lemon juice, salt and pepper to skillet. Stir to coat, adding a tiny bit of water if needed.
- Sprinkle parmesan over top, if desired. Keep it vegan by skipping this step, or using a dairy-free alternative.
- Serve immediately! 😋
