INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini
1/8 cup Cashews
1 cup Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchinis to create noodles and set aside.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine cashews, fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly sauté the cubed tofu until golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Add the shelled edamame to the skillet for a quick warm-up, about 2 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini noodles with the cashew pesto until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sautéed tofu and warmed edamame. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed pesto zucchini noodles.
