PREPARATION

  • 1

    Press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu into 1/2-inch thick pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  • 2

    Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add half of the olive oil. Sauté the tofu pieces for about 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden and slightly crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.

  • 3

    Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchinis into noodles. If a spiralizer is not available, use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips.

  • 4

    In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, and the remaining olive oil. Blend until smooth. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.

  • 5

    Toss the zucchini noodles with the creamy vegan basil pesto until well coated.

  • 6

    Plate the zucchini noodles and top with the grilled tofu slices. Serve immediately for the best texture, enjoying the contrast between the crisp noodles and tender tofu.
