Delicious - the first meal I cooked after turning vegan.<br/><br/>I didn't have walnuts so used pine nuts instead - as a serving for one 100g of spaghetti was a bit much, about 75g should do it.

This was good, but I think one slice of my homemade bread must be a lot larger than was necessary, and it soaked up all the oil, leaving it a bit dry. Good flavours, though.

Easy, fast and delicious. A pasta dish just after my fancy. I love broccoli, I love walnuts, I love pasta. I like the crunchiness of the breadscrumbs and walnuts. Try it, you will love it.
