Creamy Cashew Cauliflower Alfredo with Zucchini Noodles
Dive into a luscious bowl of creamy, plant-powered Alfredo featuring velvety cashew and cauliflower blend, enhanced by a savory kick of nutritional yeast and garlic. Tossed with fresh zucchini noodles, marinated tofu, and a hint of chickpeas for an extra protein boost, this dish is a comforting yet vibrant twist on a classic favorite.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cauliflower (chopped)
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (soaked)
2 medium Zucchinis (spiralized)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
150g Extra Firm Tofu
1/3 cup Cooked Chickpeas
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 cup Vegetable Broth or Water
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add chopped cauliflower to the skillet and lightly roast for 5 minutes to enhance its flavor.
In a high-speed blender, combine the roasted cauliflower, soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, vegetable broth, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Drain the tofu and pat dry. Cube it and add to the blender with the sauce if you prefer a uniform consistency, or reserve to gently stir in later for texture.
For added protein and texture, toss in the cooked chickpeas either blended partially or reserved for topping.
Spiralize the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer. Place them in a bowl.
Return the sauce to the skillet, add the tofu cubes (if not blended) and gently heat for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Pour the creamy sauce over the zucchini noodles and gently toss to coat.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
