INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Fusilli Pasta (140g)
1/2 cup cooked Lentils (100g)
1/2 cup sliced Mushrooms (35g)
1/2 cup roasted Mixed Vegetables (75g)
10 grams Raw Cashews
5 ounces Extra-Firm Tofu (140g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss chopped bell pepper and zucchini with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, cook the whole wheat fusilli pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, lightly sauté the sliced mushrooms over medium heat until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
In a blender, combine raw cashews with a small amount of water, a pinch of salt, and nutritional yeast (if desired) to create a creamy sauce. Blend until smooth.
Dice the extra-firm tofu and gently pan-sear it in a non-stick pan until lightly golden on all sides.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, lentils, sautéed mushrooms, roasted vegetables, and tofu. Pour the cashew cream over the mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Season with additional salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs as desired. Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, creamy lentil mushroom pasta dish.
