INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Raw Cashews
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
150g Firm Tofu
1 cup Baby Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the raw cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Squeeze the garlic cloves to release their flavor, then add them along with the firm tofu into the blender. Blend again until the sauce is well combined and silky. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
Return the cooked pasta to the pot and pour the creamy cashew sauce over it. Gently stir in the baby spinach which will wilt slightly from the heat.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately, enjoying the rich, velvety fusion of flavors.
