INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
6 oz Silken Tofu
1/8 cup Raw Cashews
1 cup Broccoli
3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Water
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli florets with a small drizzle of olive oil (optional), salt, and pepper, then roast on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the silken tofu, raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, water, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding a little more water if needed.
Warm the blended sauce in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Toss the cooked pasta and roasted broccoli with the warm cashew alfredo sauce until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately, enjoying the creamy texture and nutty flavor balanced with the roasted freshness of broccoli.
