INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry Chickpea Pasta
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
1/8 cup Raw Cashews
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt, Pepper, and Nutmeg to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, blend the soaked raw cashews with unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg until smooth to create the creamy sauce.
Season and grill the chicken breast until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pan, warm the cashew cream sauce over medium heat and add the fresh spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts slightly.
Combine the cooked pasta and grilled chicken into the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
Serve warm, adjusting seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
