INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini
150 grams Extra-Firm Tofu
1/4 Avocado
2 cups Fresh Basil Leaves
2 tbsp Pine Nuts
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
2 tbsp Hemp Seeds
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut into small cubes. Optionally, lightly sauté or bake the tofu at 375°F for 10 minutes for a firmer texture.
Using a spiralizer, create noodles from the zucchinis. Set aside in a large bowl.
In a food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, avocado, pine nuts, nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, adding a small splash of water if needed to reach a creamy consistency.
Season the pesto with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the creamy vegan basil pesto until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the tofu cubes, then plate up the dish. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of hemp seeds or pine nuts if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, nutrient-packed meal.
