INGREDIENTS
50g Chickpea Pasta
28g Raw Cashews
1 cup Cauliflower, chopped
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas
1/4 cup Extra Canned Chickpeas
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Water
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Soak the raw cashews in hot water for at least 20 minutes to soften, then drain.
Steam or lightly roast the cauliflower until tender.
Cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, steamed cauliflower, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and 1/2 cup water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding more water if necessary.
In a large pan over medium heat, combine the blended sauce with the cooked pasta and both portions of chickpeas. Stir gently to incorporate the sauce evenly.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or fresh herbs if desired.
