INGREDIENTS
1 cup whole wheat ziti pasta (115g)
1/2 cup cooked white beans (120g)
1/2 cup tomato sauce (125g)
2 tbsp nutritional yeast (16g)
Approximately 1/16 cup cashew cream (15g cashews blended)
100g extra firm tofu
1 cup fresh spinach
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti pasta in a large pot of boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a blender, prepare the cashew cream by blending 15 grams of soaked cashews with a little water until smooth.
Crumble the extra firm tofu into small pieces and lightly sauté it in a non-stick pan to firm it up and enhance its flavor.
Mix the tomato sauce with the nutritional yeast and gently stir in the cooked white beans and fresh spinach.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, tofu, and tomato sauce mixture, ensuring all components are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and drizzle with the prepared cashew cream on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
