INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/8 cup Raw Cashews
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup Chickpeas
100g Firm Tofu
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, soak the cashews in warm water for at least 20 minutes to soften.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water if needed to reach a smooth consistency.
Crumble the firm tofu and add it along with the rinsed chickpeas to the blender. Blend a few pulses to incorporate them into the sauce while leaving some texture.
Season the cashew alfredo sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked pasta in a large bowl with the creamy sauce until evenly coated.
Garnish with fresh basil and additional nutritional yeast if desired before serving.
