INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini (392g total)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (150g)
150g Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Cannellini Beans (60g)
2 cups Fresh Basil
1/4 cup Cashews (35g)
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler and set aside.
Blister the cherry tomatoes in a hot, dry skillet over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes until the skins start to split, turning occasionally.
Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into cubes. Sauté the tofu cubes in a non-stick pan over medium heat until golden on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine fresh basil, cashews, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend, gradually adding water to reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini noodles with the prepared pesto until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the blistered tomatoes, sautéed tofu, and cannellini beans. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve immediately for a fresh, vibrant meal, or chill slightly for a refreshing dinner option.
