INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
200 grams Extra Firm Tofu
2 tablespoons Raw Unsalted Cashews
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Broccoli
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli with a light mist of water, salt, and pepper, and spread it on a baking sheet. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until the edges are crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine the raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, a pinch of salt, and enough water (start with 1/4 cup) to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Blend until completely smooth.
Dice the tofu into small cubes and gently sauté it in a non-stick pan over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine the cooked pasta, sautéed tofu, and roasted broccoli in a large bowl. Pour the cashew cream sauce over the mix and toss until everything is evenly coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, nutritious pasta dish.
