INGREDIENTS
2.5 oz dry Whole Wheat Penne
200 g Extra Firm Tofu
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables
2 Tbsp Raw Cashews
1 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/4 cup Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 Garlic Clove
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss chopped bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred. 
- Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. 
- Press the extra firm tofu to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Sauté the tofu in a non-stick pan over medium heat until golden on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. 
- For the herb-cashew sauce, blend the raw cashews, fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and a few tablespoons of water in a blender until smooth and creamy. Adjust water to reach your desired consistency. 
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked penne, roasted vegetables, and sautéed tofu. Drizzle the herb-cashew sauce over the top and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. 
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, protein-packed dish that works perfectly for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
