Broccoli: A favorite vegetable with many benefits
Broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables and therefore a frequent ingredient in my recipes. why? Because broccoli is incredibly versatile and nutritious. It contains many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are important for our health. Broccoli also has a pleasant taste and a great texture that comes into its own in many dishes.

Hemp pesto: an innovative and healthy choice
Hemp pesto is one of my latest discoveries and I’m excited about the possibilities it offers. Hemp seeds are rich in protein, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as various vitamins and minerals. These nutrients make hemp seeds an excellent choice for a healthy and nutritious pesto.
By using hemp pesto in this recipe, I wanted to introduce you to an alternative to traditional pesto that is not only vegan, but also offers a unique flavor and creamy consistency. Hemp pesto gives the broccoli pasta salad a nutty note and harmonizes wonderfully with the pasta and broccoli.
