Creamy Cashew Alfredo Pasta with Roasted Broccoli
Enjoy a comforting bowl of chickpea pasta tossed in a rich, creamy cashew alfredo sauce complemented by roasted broccoli and crisp, sautéed tofu. This dish balances hearty textures with a bright pop of lemon, making it both satisfying and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea Pasta (dry)
1 cup Broccoli
2 tbsp Raw Cashews
1 serving Extra-Firm Tofu (~85g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking tray and roast for about 15-20 minutes until the edges are crisp and the broccoli is tender.
Cook the chickpea pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine raw cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and enough water to achieve a creamy consistency. Blend until smooth to create the cashew alfredo sauce.
Cube the extra-firm tofu and lightly season with salt and pepper. Quickly sauté the tofu in a non-stick pan over medium heat until it becomes slightly golden on all sides.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, roasted broccoli, sautéed tofu, and the cashew alfredo sauce. Toss gently until everything is well coated.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy and satisfying meal.
