Creamy Cashew Alfredo Pasta with Roasted Broccoli
Enjoy a silky, dairy-free twist on classic Alfredo pasta, where tender whole wheat penne is enveloped in a velvety cashew-tofu sauce accented with nutritional yeast for a savory boost. Roasted broccoli crowns the dish, adding a delightful crunch and vibrant color to this comforting yet nourishing meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/8 cup Raw Cashews
150g Firm Tofu
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Broccoli
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the broccoli roasts, cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine the cashews, firm tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and about 1/4 cup of water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency by adding more water if needed.
Pour the cashew-tofu sauce into a pan over medium heat, and warm gently while stirring for 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to boil vigorously.
Mix the cooked pasta with the warm sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the creamy pasta and top with the roasted broccoli. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
