INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups Cauliflower Florets (150g)
1 oz Raw Cashews (28g)
2 medium Zucchinis (200g) spiralized
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (240ml)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (16g)
1 small Onion (70g)
2 cloves Garlic
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
100g Firm Tofu
0.5 cup Cannellini Beans (130g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, spiralize the zucchinis to create noodles and set aside.
In a blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, raw cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy sauce.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the blended sauce to the pan with onions and let it simmer gently for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Gently fold in the firm tofu (cut into cubes) and cannellini beans to boost the protein content, warming them through without breaking them apart.
Toss the zucchini noodles into the pan and stir until they are evenly coated with the creamy sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until just tender.
Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
