Savor a delightfully refreshing bowl of pasta tossed in a smooth, tangy cashew cream sauce with roasted broccoli florets and crunchy chickpeas. The combination of lightly toasted nutritional yeast and a splash of lemon creates a creamy, satisfying dish that feels both comforting and uplifting, perfect for any mealtime.
INGREDIENTS
1 ounce whole wheat pasta (dry)
1/4 cup raw cashews
1 cup chopped broccoli
1/3 cup roasted chickpeas
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 scoop pea protein powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove
1/2 cup water (for cashew cream)
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the chopped broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil (optional), salt, and pepper, then roast on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Spread them on a separate baking sheet, season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder, and roast for about 20 minutes until crispy, stirring halfway through.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine raw cashews, water, lemon juice, garlic, nutritional yeast, pea protein powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a bit more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
Toss the warm pasta with the cashew cream sauce until evenly coated. Gently fold in the roasted broccoli and crispy chickpeas.
Serve immediately, adjusting seasoning if necessary. Enjoy your creamy, protein-packed meal!
