Healthy Creamy Cashew Alfredo Pasta
Savor a silky, dairy-free cashew alfredo pasta where toasted cashews blend with nutritional yeast and fresh lemon to create a creamy sauce over perfectly cooked whole wheat pasta. Enhanced with tender cubes of firm tofu and vibrant steamed broccoli, this dish delivers a satisfying bite and a protein boost in every mouthful.
INGREDIENTS
50g Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (approx. 36g)
100g Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast (approx. 15g)
1 cup Broccoli
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1/2 cup Water
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more water to reach your desired consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed firm tofu and sauté until lightly golden on all sides. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In the same skillet, add the blended cashew sauce and gently heat, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Fold in the drained pasta and steamed broccoli into the sauce. Add the sautéed tofu and gently toss until everything is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
Serve warm, and enjoy your healthy, protein-boosted cashew alfredo pasta.
