Prepare the pasta according to directions on the package
In a large mixing bowl toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
If using an air fryer, add the broccoli florets to the fryer basket and roast at 400F for 10-12 mins tossing in between. If using an oven, add the broccoli florets to a lined baking sheet and bake at 450F for 15-20 mins or until the broccoli is nicely roasted, stirring once halfway through.
Next, prepare the pesto by adding the fresh basil, hemp seeds, olive oil, nutrtional yeast, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes to a high-powered blender and blending until smooth.
Toss the prepared pasta with the pesto and roasted broccoli. Top with vegan parmesan, sliced almonds or walnuts, optional
