Ingredients:
Instructions:

- Wash and cut the broccoli into florets.

- Sprinkle the whole-grain wheat flour over the sautéed onions and stir well to combine.
- Gradually pour the blended cashew sauce into the skillet, stirring continuously, until the mixture starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold the steamed cauliflower and broccoli into the sauce, making sure all pieces are well-coated.
- Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased (with a bit of olive oil) casserole dish.
- Spread the mixture out evenly in the dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:
- For a creamier texture, ensure your cashews are well-soaked before blending.
- Add more garlic if you prefer a stronger flavor.
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk of your choice.
- Make sure to chop the broccoli and cauliflower into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- If you want a gluten-free version, replace whole-grain wheat flour with gluten-free flour.
- Toast the flaxseed lightly in a pan before adding to enhance its nutty flavor.
