INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchinis (~280g)
200g Extra-Firm Tofu
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves (~25g)
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (~36g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (~16g)
3/4 tbsp Olive Oil (~11g)
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (~15g)
1/4 cup Water (~60g)
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchinis to create noodles and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine basil leaves, raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and water. Blend until smooth to form the creamy pesto sauce.
Dice the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Lightly sauté the tofu in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until all sides are lightly golden.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sautéed tofu, ensuring the tofu remains intact.
Season with salt and pepper to taste if needed, and serve immediately.
