INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
5 oz Firm Tofu
2 Tbsp Raw Cashews
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a small amount of water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Press the tofu lightly to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes. (Optional: sauté tofu in a non-stick pan for 3-5 minutes for extra texture.)
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy cashew sauce and gently fold in the tofu cubes.
Plate the pasta mixture and top with the roasted broccoli. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, hearty meal.
