INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (~56g)
200 grams Extra Firm Tofu
2 tbsp Raw Cashews (~18g)
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture and cut into small cubes.
In a high-speed blender, combine the tofu, raw cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If needed, add a splash of water to help blend.
Pour the sauce into a saucepan over medium-low heat and warm gently, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil to preserve creaminess.
Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and allow it to wilt slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce until well-coated.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, creamy cashew Alfredo pasta.
