INGREDIENTS
1 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tbsp Raw Cashews
200g Silken Tofu
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/4 cup Chickpeas (quartered)
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables
1 Garlic clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Water
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Chop broccoli, bell pepper, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces, toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine raw cashews, silken tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting water as needed for desired consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the blended cashew Alfredo sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the roasted vegetables and chickpeas, mixing until everything is well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, nutrient-packed pasta meal.
