INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chickpea Pasta
1/4 cup Raw Cashews
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Broccoli
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Cook the chickpea pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
On a baking sheet, toss broccoli, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, blend raw cashews (soaked for at least 2-4 hours or in hot water for 15 minutes for a quicker version) with garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and enough water to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the cooked pasta with the cashew alfredo sauce until well coated.
Fold in the roasted vegetables and gently stir to combine all flavors.
Serve warm, and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed, and nutrient-rich meal.
