INGREDIENTS
2 medium zucchinis (spiralized)
1/3 cup raw cashews
1 cup fresh basil
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
175g firm tofu, cubed
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the 2 medium zucchinis and set aside in a large bowl.
In a blender or food processor, combine the raw cashews, fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
Pour the cashew pesto over the zucchini noodles and toss gently to ensure the noodles are well coated.
Cube the firm tofu into bite-sized pieces. Optionally, lightly season the tofu with salt and pepper.
Either fold the tofu cubes into the pesto-coated noodles for a mix of textures or lightly sauté them in a nonstick pan for 3-5 minutes before combining, based on your preference.
Serve immediately, adjusting salt and pepper as needed, and enjoy this fresh, satisfying dish that perfectly balances creamy richness with the crispness of zucchini noodles.
