INGREDIENTS
2 oz High-Protein Pasta
1/4 cup Raw Cashews
1/3 cup Cooked Chickpeas
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast Flakes
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Water
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by soaking the raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours or in hot water for 20 minutes to soften them.
Cook the high-protein pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, water, garlic clove, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a bit more water if needed to achieve a velvety consistency.
In a large pan over medium heat, warm the cashew Alfredo sauce. Stir in the nutritional yeast flakes to enhance its cheesy flavor.
Fold in the cooked pasta and gently stir in the cooked chickpeas. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.
Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve warm.
