INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini (approx. 400g)
200 grams Firm Tofu
30 grams Unsalted Cashews
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Basil (packed)
2 Garlic cloves
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the 2 medium zucchinis and set aside.
Press the 200 grams of firm tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a non-stick skillet, warm a small amount of olive oil and lightly sauté the tofu cubes until they are golden on all sides. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the fresh basil, unsalted cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic cloves, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the zucchini noodles and tofu cubes with the prepared pesto until evenly coated.
Serve immediately, enjoying the vibrant, fresh flavors of this creamy vegan meal.
