INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
0.75 cup Chickpeas (cooked)
100g Silken Tofu (approx. 1/4 block)
1 medium Roasted Red Pepper
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chickpeas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes to warm them through.
In a blender, combine the roasted red pepper, silken tofu, nutritional yeast, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Return the cooked pasta to the pot and pour the roasted red pepper sauce over it. Gently stir in the warm chickpeas and sautéed garlic.
Fold in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt slightly from the residual heat.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, protein-packed meal.
