INGREDIENTS
60g Whole Wheat Penne
150g Sliced Mushrooms
15g Cashews
120g Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
50g Extra-Firm Tofu
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 medium Onion, diced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 cup Vegetable Broth
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they soften and release their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
Cube the extra-firm tofu and gently stir into the skillet, letting it warm and lightly brown for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and sprinkle in the dried thyme, allowing the flavors to meld for another 2 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt and cashews, creating a creamy texture. Mix gently to combine all ingredients.
Fold in the fresh baby spinach and let it wilt into the sauce.
Toss the cooked penne into the sauce until fully coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, nutty flavors that harmonize beautifully with the earthy mushrooms and tender tofu.
