INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup raw cashews (approx 40g)
1.5 cups chopped cauliflower (approx 150g)
1 medium zucchini (zoodles, approx 200g)
100g firm tofu
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Soak the raw cashews in warm water for 20 minutes, then drain.
Steam the chopped cauliflower until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, steamed cauliflower, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce. If needed, add extra water to achieve desired consistency.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add the cubed firm tofu. Sauté until slightly golden on all sides, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and warm them for 1-2 minutes until just tender.
Pour the cashew-cauliflower sauce over the zucchini noodles and tofu. Stir to coat evenly and let the flavors meld together over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, plant-powered Alfredo dinner.
