INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (42g)
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (36g)
4 oz Extra-Firm Tofu (113g)
1/2 cup Green Peas (80g)
1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast (15g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, soak the cashews in warm water for at least 15 minutes to soften them.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, extra-firm tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and about 1/4 cup water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a pan over medium heat, briefly warm the green peas until heated through.
Toss the pasta with the creamy cashew Alfredo sauce and gently stir in the warmed peas.
Adjust seasoning if needed and serve immediately.
