INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
6 oz Firm Tofu
3 tbsp Raw Cashews
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Broccoli Florets
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for roasting the vegetables.
On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine the raw cashews, nutritional yeast, and 1/4 cup water (or unsweetened plant milk if desired) to create a smooth, creamy sauce. If needed, add extra water for the preferred consistency.
Drain the firm tofu and cut it into cubes. Optionally, you can lightly sauté the tofu in a non-stick pan for a few minutes to enhance its texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, tofu cubes, and roasted vegetables. Pour the cashew cream sauce over the mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, creamy cashew Alfredo pasta with a burst of roasted vegetable goodness.
