INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea Pasta
1 cup chopped Cauliflower
1/4 cup Raw Cashews
4 oz Extra Firm Tofu
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Water as needed
PREPARATION
Cook the chickpea pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam or lightly boil the chopped cauliflower until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cooked cauliflower, raw cashews, extra firm tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, and a splash of water. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Adjust water to reach desired consistency.
Heat a small pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Lightly sauté the blended sauce to warm it up, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked pasta in the warm creamy sauce until evenly coated.
Plate and serve immediately, garnishing with additional pepper or nutritional yeast if desired.
