Creamy Roasted Vegetable Penne with Cashew Sauce
A vibrant and satisfying dish featuring whole wheat penne tossed with perfectly roasted seasonal vegetables, creamy cashew butter sauce, and a boost of umami from nutritional yeast. This meal delivers a harmonious blend of textures and flavors with a comforting, velvety finish.
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Penne
5 ounces Extra Firm Tofu
1.5 tablespoons Cashew Butter
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Toss chopped zucchini, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Cook whole wheat penne in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Press the tofu for at least 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes and sauté lightly in a non-stick pan until edges are golden, about 5-7 minutes.
In a blender, combine cashew butter with a splash of water, nutritional yeast, salt, and a bit of lemon juice to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked penne, roasted vegetables, and tofu. Drizzle the cashew sauce over the mix and gently stir to coat evenly.
Finish by sprinkling additional nutritional yeast on top if desired, then serve warm.
