INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini
150 grams Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Cashews
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the 2 medium zucchinis and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cashews, fresh basil leaves, garlic, nutritional yeast, and olive oil. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
Season the cashew pesto with salt and pepper to taste.
Crumble the 150 grams of firm tofu and lightly mix it into the zucchini noodles. This will boost the protein content while maintaining a light texture.
Pour the cashew pesto over the zucchini noodles and tofu mixture. Toss well to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, creamy flavors of this nutrient-packed dish.
