PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchini into noodles and set aside in a large bowl.
In a food processor, combine raw cashews, fresh basil leaves, garlic, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to reach a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the cashew pesto until evenly coated.

Gently fold in the chickpeas and warm tofu into the zucchini noodles and pesto mixture.
Mix everything together, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve immediately.
