INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini (~196g)
150g Firm Tofu
0.5 cup Cooked Chickpeas (~82g)
2 cups Fresh Basil Leaves (~20g per cup)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (~16g total)
2 cloves Garlic

1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchinis into noodles and place them in a large bowl.
In a blender, combine fresh basil, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, tofu, olive oil, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth to form the creamy pesto.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the creamy pesto until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the cooked chickpeas to add heartiness and extra protein.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add additional water until your desired consistency is reached.
