INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
3 oz Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Cashews
1 cup Broccoli
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta according to packet instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a few tablespoons of water as needed to achieve a creamy, sauce-like consistency.
In a skillet over medium heat, cube the firm tofu and sauté until lightly golden on all sides.
Toss the cooked pasta with the tofu and cashew alfredo sauce until well combined.
Gently fold in the roasted broccoli and serve immediately, adjusting seasoning as desired.
