INGREDIENTS
75 g Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
30 g Raw Cashews
60 ml Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
4 oz Extra-Firm Tofu
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve a small cup of pasta water before draining.
In a high-speed blender, combine raw cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic clove, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until completely smooth; if the sauce appears too thick, add a splash of pasta water to adjust the consistency.
Meanwhile, cut the extra-firm tofu into small cubes. Lightly season with salt and pepper. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, sauté the tofu cubes until they are lightly golden on all sides.
Add the freshly drained pasta to the pan with tofu. Pour in the cashew Alfredo sauce, stirring well to coat the pasta evenly. If needed, add additional reserved pasta water to achieve a silky texture.
Gently fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt in the warmth of the pasta for about 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Enjoy the creamy, nutrient-rich pasta hot.
