INGREDIENTS
1 cup Chickpea Pasta (cooked)
1/4 cup raw cashews (soaked)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/3 cup cooked Chickpeas
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
Water as needed
PREPARATION
Cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and about 1/3 cup water. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Adjust the thickness by adding extra water if desired.
In a skillet, gently warm the cashew Alfredo sauce over low heat. Stir in the cooked chickpeas and allow them to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked chickpea pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated. Heat together for an additional minute.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper or extra lemon juice if needed. Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious meal.
