Instructions
- Put on a pot of water for cooking the pasta. Cut broccoli florets from stalks, chop peeled stems and reserve. Heat the margarine or oil in a 4 quart saucepan, and add the garlic. When it starts to sizzle, remove from heat, add the flour and whisk to combine. Return to the heat and cook, whisking, for two minutes. As it cooks, combine the milk, yeast, and spices in a measuring cup and whisk to mix. Remove the pan from heat and whisk in about 1/4 of the milk mixture until smooth, add the milk in 1/4 cup increments, stirring until smooth each time, until all is incorporated. Whisk in non-dairy cheese, whisking constantly until smooth and thick. Season with salt and keep warm.
