Preparation method
Ingredients overview
- 160 g whole wheat pasta
- 40 g cashews
- 1 head of broccoli
- 10 pcs cherry tomatoes
- 100 g marinated tofu
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 pinch garlic granules
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
Soak the cashews in water for at least 2 hours. Then drain the water, place them in a blender, add 1 dl of fresh water, and blend until smooth. Add the nutritional yeast, garlic granules, salt, and pepper, then blend again until you get a creamy sauce. Don't worry if it seems a bit thin, the pasta will absorb the excess moisture.
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Separate the broccoli into florets and steam until tender. Halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice or tear the marinated tofu into smaller pieces.
Mix the cooked pasta with the cashew sauce, then gently fold in the steamed broccoli, tomatoes, and tofu. Mix thoroughly and serve immediately.
Chef's tip
For an even creamier consistency, you can use plant-based cream instead of soaking water for the sauce.
