INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Raw Cashews
3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
100g Firm Tofu
1 cup Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic (reserve one clove for later), lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of water. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding a bit more water if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Meanwhile, dice the firm tofu and lightly sauté it in a nonstick pan over medium heat until it is golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the olive oil and sauté the remaining garlic along with the spinach until the spinach wilts. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked tofu back into the pan with the greens and gently toss.
Mix the drained pasta into the pan, then pour over the cashew Alfredo sauce. Stir until all components are evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast if desired.
