Creamy Vegan Pesto Zucchini Noodles
Experience a vibrant, creamy vegan dish featuring spiralized zucchini tossed in a luscious, cashew-based pesto with a boost from protein-rich tofu and chickpeas. Bursting with fresh basil and a tang of lemon, this recipe is both satisfying and nourishing.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchinis (spiralized)
1/2 cup Cooked Chickpeas
150g Silken Tofu
2 tbsp Raw Cashews
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchinis to create noodles and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a blender, combine the fresh basil leaves, garlic, raw cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, silken tofu, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash of water until desired texture is reached.
Pour the creamy pesto sauce over the zucchini noodles, mixing well to coat all strands.
Gently fold in the cooked chickpeas ensuring even distribution without mashing the noodles.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately for best texture, or chill for a refreshing, nutrient-packed meal.
