Method
- Place oven rack in center position in oven and preheat to 375°F.
- Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil over high heat.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and broccoli and cook 3 minutes, or until broccoli is slightly cooked(blanched) but still firm and bright green.
- Using or pot holders, move the saucepan from the heat and drain the broccoli in a colander set in the sink. Be careful of the steam. Rinse under cold running water. Set aside to drain.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the spice mix, the parsley, basil, 1/4 teaspoon of the remaining salt, pepper, and veggie crumbles, and cook, stirring, until the onions start to brown, about 8 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, the remaining 11/2 teaspoons of spice mix, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add Parmesan cheese and whisk vigorously to combine.
- Spread the cooked spaghetti evenly in a casserole dish.
- Pour the veggie crumble mixture over the spaghetti and toss with a fork to mix.
- Place the blanched broccoli on top of the spaghetti.
- Pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti.
- Sprinkle the spaghetti all over with the mozzarella cheese and bake it in the oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Using pot holders, remove the casserole dish from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- For spice mix:
- Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Stir well to combine.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Yields about 3/4 cup.
