INGREDIENTS
50 g Whole Wheat Pasta
100 g Broccoli
160 g Firm Tofu
25 g Raw Cashews
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Arrange broccoli florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine raw cashews, unsweetened almond milk, garlic, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth to create your creamy Alfredo sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cut the firm tofu into small cubes. For extra texture, you can lightly pan-sear the tofu in a non-stick skillet for 3-5 minutes on each side without added oil, or simply incorporate it raw for a softer texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, roasted broccoli, and tofu with the blended cashew Alfredo sauce. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary, and serve warm.
