INGREDIENTS
1/8 cup Raw Cashews
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
1/2 cup White Beans
3/4 cup Shelled Edamame
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 Garlic clove
1/2 cup Water
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the broccoli.
Toss the broccoli florets with a bit of salt, pepper, and a light drizzle of water or olive oil if desired. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the broccoli roasts, cook the whole wheat pasta in boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
For the creamy sauce, combine raw cashews, white beans, nutritional yeast, garlic, and water in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth, adding a little extra water if needed to achieve a silky consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked pasta with the blended cashew-white bean sauce, then gently fold in the shelled edamame.
Plate the pasta, top with the freshly roasted broccoli, and adjust seasonings as desired before serving.
