INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea Pasta (dry)
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (soaked)
150 g Extra-Firm Tofu
6 Asparagus Spears
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 Garlic Clove
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Water
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Rinse and trim the asparagus; toss with a light spray of non-stick cooking spray and spread on a baking sheet.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut into cubes. Add tofu to the baking sheet with the asparagus.
Roast the asparagus and tofu for about 15 minutes until the asparagus is tender and tofu is lightly browned.
Meanwhile, cook the chickpea pasta in a pot of boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Soak the cashews in warm water for at least 20 minutes to soften. Drain before blending.
Combine the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a bit more water to reach the desired consistency.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the cashew Alfredo sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the roasted tofu and asparagus. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed, and nutrient-rich meal.
