Savor a light, creamy cashew alfredo pasta, where whole wheat pasta meets a silky, cashew-based sauce enriched with nutritional yeast, tender tofu, and fresh spinach. This balanced dish delivers a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, making it an ideal choice for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
2 tbsp Raw Cashews
150g Extra-Firm Tofu
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
2 cups Baby Spinach
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, drain, and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
In a high-speed blender, combine the raw cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, sautéed garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth to form a creamy sauce.
Crumble the extra-firm tofu and optionally give it a quick sauté in the pan with a bit of salt and pepper for added texture before adding it to the sauce, or blend half of it for extra creaminess while leaving chunks for texture.
Return the sauce to low heat, stir in the fresh baby spinach, allowing it to wilt slightly, then add the tofu.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, tossing to ensure even coating. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy a balanced, creamy, and nutritious meal.
