INGREDIENTS
3 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
1/4 cup Raw Cashews
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
3 oz Extra-Firm Tofu
1 clove Garlic
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta in a large pot of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and about 1/3 cup water. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adjusting the water quantity as needed for desired consistency.
Cut the extra-firm tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the tofu for 3-4 minutes until beginning to brown on all sides.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the cashew alfredo sauce, gently stirring in the roasted broccoli and sautéed tofu. Warm through if necessary.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
