INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cauliflower Florets
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (soaked)
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 cups Zucchini Noodles
6 ounces Extra Firm Tofu
4 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Steam or lightly boil the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
While the cauliflower is cooking, soak the raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours (or use pre-soaked cashews) and drain.
In a blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, soaked cashews, almond milk, garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a skillet, heat a bit of water or oil over medium heat and lightly sauté the zucchini noodles for 2-3 minutes until just softened. Avoid overcooking to retain the noodles' texture.
Cube the extra firm tofu into bite-sized pieces and pan-sear in a non-stick pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the edges are golden. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the tofu. Pour the creamy cashew-cauliflower alfredo sauce over the mixture and gently combine until everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast on top for an extra boost of flavor, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately.
