INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Cashews
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes on each side. Slice into strips once cooked.
Toss the asparagus with 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Cook the whole wheat pasta in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, a pinch of salt, and about 1/4 cup water (or reserved pasta water) to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Blend until completely smooth.
Return the pasta to the pot over low heat. Pour the cashew sauce over the pasta and stir gently to combine, adding a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Plate the pasta, then top with grilled chicken slices and roasted asparagus. Serve warm.
