INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini (196g)
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (36g)
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves (21g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (16g)
1/2 cup Edamame (75g)
4 oz Firm Tofu (113g)

Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the 2 medium zucchinis and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the raw cashews, fresh basil leaves, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding extra water if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the edamame and crumbled firm tofu (cut into cubes), and lightly sauté for 3-4 minutes until warm.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the prepared cashew pesto until well coated.
Plate the zucchini noodles and top with the sautéed edamame and tofu. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, protein-packed meal.
