Silky Cashew Garlic Pasta
A luscious, creamy pasta dish where toasted cashews and garlic meld into a silky sauce, lightly coating whole wheat pasta, tofu, and chickpeas. Fresh spinach and a burst of lemon brighten this hearty yet delicate dish perfect for any meal.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 oz Raw Cashews
4 oz Extra-Firm Tofu
1/2 cup White Chickpeas
3 Garlic Cloves
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Water
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, rinse the tofu and pat dry. Cut into cubes.
In a blender, combine raw cashews, garlic cloves, lemon juice, water, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is silky smooth; you can add a little extra water if needed for a thinner consistency.
In a large pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the tofu cubes until they are golden on all sides. Add the white chickpeas and gently warm through.
Add the cooked pasta and fresh spinach to the pan. Pour the cashew garlic sauce over the mixture and toss gently to combine and heat the spinach slightly.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy your silky, flavorful Cashew Garlic Pasta.
