INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
5 spears Asparagus
2 tbsp Raw Cashews
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup White Beans
3 ounces Firm Tofu
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus for about 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta in a pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of pasta water.
For the creamy cashew alfredo sauce, blend the raw cashews, nutritional yeast, white beans, tofu, garlic, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, pepper, and a splash of water (or reserved pasta water) until smooth and creamy.
Combine the drained pasta with the cashew alfredo sauce, adjusting the consistency with a little pasta water if needed.
Plate the creamy pasta and top with the roasted asparagus. Give a final sprinkle of salt and pepper if desired before serving.
