INGREDIENTS
2 medium zucchini (spiralized)
1/4 cup walnuts
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup fresh basil (packed)
1 clove garlic
125g firm tofu
1/4 cup chickpeas
Salt and pepper
PREPARATION
Prepare zucchini noodles by washing and spiralizing 2 medium zucchinis. Set aside.
In a food processor, combine walnuts, nutritional yeast, fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth to form the vegan pesto.
Lightly sauté the firm tofu (cubed) in a non-stick pan over medium heat until edges are golden. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
For additional texture and protein, lightly warm the chickpeas in the same pan for 2-3 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini noodles with the fresh vegan pesto until well-coated.
Top the pesto-coated noodles with the sautéed tofu and chickpeas.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, nutrient-packed meal.
