INGREDIENTS
350g Firm Tofu
150g Zucchini (spiralized)
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, then cube it.
In a high-speed blender, combine the fresh basil leaves, garlic cloves, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, pine nuts, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed for a creamy consistency.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the cubed tofu and sauté lightly until the edges begin to turn golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Toss the spiralized zucchini noodles into the skillet with the tofu, gently mixing to warm the noodles without overcooking them.
Pour the creamy pesto sauce over the tofu and noodles, stirring well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Allow the dish to heat through for another 2-3 minutes, then adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
