INGREDIENTS
1.75 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (approx. 50g dry)
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (approx. 35g)
1 cup Cooked Spinach (approx. 180g)
150g Extra Firm Tofu
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast (approx. 10g)
1 Garlic Clove
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, soak the raw cashews in warm water for at least 20 minutes to soften. Drain well before blending.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic clove, lemon juice, and a few tablespoons of water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the water as needed to achieve a silky sauce consistency.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly sauté the extra firm tofu (cut into cubes) until it is just golden around the edges.
Add the cooked spinach and the cashew Alfredo sauce to the skillet with tofu, stirring gently to combine. Allow the sauce to warm through.
Toss the cooked whole wheat pasta into the skillet, ensuring it is evenly coated with the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy creamy cashew Alfredo pasta as a satisfying dinner.
