INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
0.5 oz Raw Cashews
4 oz Firm Tofu
0.25 cup Chickpeas
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Soak the raw cashews in warm water for at least 15 minutes for better creaminess, then drain.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, and one clove of garlic. Blend until smooth to create the creamy sauce.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté the remaining garlic until fragrant, then add the diced firm tofu and lightly brown it on all sides.
Add the chickpeas and spinach to the skillet, stirring until the spinach wilts.
Pour the cashew cream sauce into the skillet, gently stirring to combine with the tofu, chickpeas, and spinach. Allow the sauce to warm through, but do not let it boil.
Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce mixture until well coated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm, enjoying the deliciously creamy, nutrient-packed dish.
