PREPARATION

  • 1

    Soak the raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours or boil them for 10 minutes to soften.

  • 2

    Steam the cauliflower florets until tender (about 8-10 minutes). Set aside.

  • 3

    While the cauliflower steams, press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into small cubes.

  • 4

    Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the tofu cubes until lightly golden on all sides. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • 5

    Drain the cashews and add them to a blender along with steamed cauliflower, almond milk, garlic, and nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding extra water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.

  • 6

    Season the cream sauce with salt and pepper. Optionally, gently warm the sauce in a saucepan if you prefer it warm.

  • 7

    Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the medium zucchini. If you don’t have a spiralizer, use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons.

  • 8

    Plate the zucchini noodles and pour the creamy cashew-cauliflower sauce over them. Top with the sautéed tofu cubes.

  • 9

    Finish with an extra grind of pepper and a light drizzle of olive oil if desired, then serve immediately.
