INGREDIENTS
75g Chickpea Pasta
1/4 cup Raw Cashews (~30g)
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup White Beans
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and reserve a small portion of the cooking water.
While the pasta cooks, blend the raw cashews, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic clove, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired creamy consistency.
Warm the white beans in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cashew Alfredo sauce, and white beans, gently stirring to evenly coat the pasta.
Fold in the fresh spinach so it wilts slightly from the heat of the pasta.
Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed pasta dish.
