INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Raw Cashews
3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 cup Broccoli
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F for roasting the vegetables.
In a small blender, combine raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth and creamy; adjust water for desired consistency.
Toss broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, cook whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve a small cup of pasta water.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the creamy cashew sauce, adding a bit of reserved pasta water if needed to achieve a silky texture.
Fold in the roasted vegetables and stir in the shelled edamame, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional nutritional yeast or fresh herbs if desired.
