INGREDIENTS
1 medium Zucchini (200g)
1/3 cup Raw Cashews (45g)
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves (21g)
1 Garlic Clove
3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (15g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
150g Extra-Firm Tofu
2 tbsp Hemp Seeds (20g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the extra-firm tofu into cubes and place them on a lined baking sheet. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly golden.
While the tofu bakes, spiralize the zucchini to form noodles. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a blender or food processor, combine raw cashews, fresh basil leaves, garlic clove, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if necessary to reach a creamy consistency.
Pour the cashew pesto over the zucchini noodles and toss until the noodles are well-coated.
Gently fold in the baked tofu cubes and sprinkle hemp seeds on top for an extra protein boost and nutty flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, nutrient-packed meal.
