INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/8 cup Raw Cashews
1 cup Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Frozen Peas
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine the raw cashews, firm tofu, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, and olive oil. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, warm the blended cashew sauce gently. Stir in the frozen peas and allow them to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Mix the cooked pasta into the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
