Creamy Cashew Alfredo with Zucchini Noodles
A luscious, dairy-free cashew alfredo tossed with fresh zucchini noodles and tofu, creating a silky, rich sauce that coats every strand. This vibrant dish delivers a hearty dose of protein, perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner while staying light and flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchinis (spiralized)
150g Firm Tofu
30g Cashews (soaked)
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 Garlic clove
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Water
PREPARATION
If desired, soak the cashews in warm water for 15-20 minutes to soften them.
Spiralize the zucchinis into noodles and set aside. Lightly salt the zoodles and let them rest to remove excess water.
Press the firm tofu to remove extra moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add extra water if needed to reach a silky texture.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the tofu cubes and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they start to get golden edges.
Add the zucchini noodles to the pan with tofu, then pour the cashew alfredo sauce over the mixture.
Gently toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are tender but still crisp.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.
