Healthy Creamy Cashew Alfredo Pasta with Greens
Savor a delightful twist on traditional Alfredo with a creamy, cashew-based sauce tossed with whole wheat pasta and vibrant greens, complemented by tofu for an extra protein boost. The nutty and bright flavors of garlic, nutritional yeast, and a squeeze of lemon elevate this dish into a satisfying and heart-healthy meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
5 ounces Firm Tofu
1 ounce Raw Cashews
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, drain the tofu and cut it into small cubes. Lightly sauté the tofu in a non-stick pan over medium heat with a pinch of salt and pepper until it just begins to brown.
In a high-speed blender, combine the raw cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more almond milk until desired consistency is reached.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the warm pasta with the cashew Alfredo sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the sautéed tofu and fresh spinach, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the greens.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed pasta meal.
