INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup chopped Broccoli
14 g Raw Cashews
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 scoop (1.5 servings) Unflavored Vegan Protein Powder
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the chopped broccoli with a drizzle of water, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
In a high-speed blender, combine raw cashews, nutritional yeast, unflavored vegan protein powder, garlic, lemon juice, and about 1/3 cup of the reserved pasta water. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If needed, add more water to adjust thickness.
Mix the pasta with the cashew alfredo sauce, stirring well to coat. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add a bit more pasta water.
Gently fold in the roasted broccoli, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while warm.
