INGREDIENTS
200g Firm Tofu
75g Shelled Edamame
2 medium Zucchinis (spiralized)
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
2 tbsp Soaked Cashews
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press and drain the tofu to remove excess water and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly sauté the tofu cubes with a pinch of salt and pepper until golden on all sides.
In the same skillet, add the shelled edamame and warm them through for 2-3 minutes. Set both aside.
Spiralize the zucchinis to form noodles and set in a large mixing bowl.
In a blender, combine fresh basil leaves, soaked cashews, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting water to reach your desired consistency.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the prepared creamy pesto sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sautéed tofu and edamame.
Plate the dish and add an extra sprinkle of nutritional yeast or fresh basil if desired. Enjoy your nutrient-packed, creamy vegan pesto zucchini noodles!
