A vibrant, creamy twist on classic pesto featuring spiralized zucchini noodles dressed in a luscious cashew-basil sauce enriched with silken tofu, chickpeas, and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for an extra protein boost.

INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini (spiralized)
1/4 cup Raw Cashews
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Silken Tofu
1/4 cup Chickpeas
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the two medium zucchini and set aside.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the raw cashews, fresh basil leaves, garlic cloves, silken tofu, chickpeas, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the pesto is too thick, add a splash of water to reach desired consistency.
Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed, blending briefly to combine.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the creamy cashew pesto until evenly coated.
Serve immediately as a light main dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, enjoying the fresh, nutty, and zesty flavors.
