Video: Cashew Alfredo with Zucchini and Squash Noodles
Eating healthfully hasn't always come naturally to me. For years I’ve struggled with the temptations of starchy pastas and creamy sauces. The problem is that later I regret the effects of these meals. Not only the caloric overload, but also the head fog, the stuffed up sinuses, the leaden feel in my belly. I have found that when my body is balanced that it performs better. I weigh less. I feel better.
In order to achieve this, I need a few “go-to” meals that are simple to prepare, delicious to eat, and prevent me from reaching for the Parmigianno Reggiano and bronze cut pasta (no small feat!). This happens to be one of those recipes.
The cashew Alfredo is decadent - the nutritional yeast replacing the need for any cheese of any kind. The noodles….what can is say: They are unmistakably vegetables. While they don’t completely replace any pasta I know of, they sure work their hardest to make this dish come together. At the end of the day - they work.
When your looking to stay on track, fuel your body with nutritious and fortifying food, yet indulge in something seemingly devilish, this is the recipe I suggest you make.
