INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini (spiralized)
150g Tempeh (cubed)
1/4 cup Cashews
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 Garlic clove
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchinis into noodles and set aside.
Cut the tempeh into small cubes. In a non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the tempeh cubes. Season lightly with salt and pepper and sauté until they are golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a high-speed blender, combine the cashews, fresh basil leaves, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth, adding extra water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
Toss the zucchini noodles in a large bowl with the creamy cashew pesto until well coated.
Gently fold in the sautéed tempeh cubes. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh, vibrant flavors and creamy texture.
