INGREDIENTS
2 medium zucchini (spiralized)
150 grams firm tofu
1 cup shelled edamame
1 tablespoon walnuts
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil
1 garlic clove
PREPARATION
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the medium zucchinis and set aside in a large bowl.
Press the firm tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh basil, garlic, walnuts, nutritional yeast, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a small splash of water to help blend to a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the tofu cubes and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to brown lightly.
Add the shelled edamame to the skillet with the tofu and stir gently to warm through for another 2 minutes.
Pour the creamy pesto sauce over the tofu and edamame mixture, stirring to coat evenly.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss gently with the creamy mixture until the noodles are well coated, warming them slightly for 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh texture of the zucchini combined with the rich, savory pesto.
