INGREDIENTS
2.55 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (quartered)
3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Asparagus
50 grams Silken Tofu
1/2 tbsp Hemp Seeds
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss trimmed asparagus with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of water; arrange on a baking sheet and roast for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the raw cashews, silken tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency with additional water if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the cooked pasta with the creamy cashew Alfredo sauce, stirring thoroughly to coat each strand.
Gently fold in the roasted asparagus pieces.
Finish by sprinkling hemp seeds on top for a subtle nutty crunch, and adjust seasonings as desired before serving.
