meal preeeep! something i used to do every single sunday and wednesday without fail for a good 3 or 4 years straight. my short-lived bikini competitor season lit a fire in me, WHEW! i still meal prep here and there though, guys, because it’s convenient, and so, so beneficial to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, weight, energy level, etc., etc., etc., buuuut i’m not so anal over it anymore at this point in my life.

so.... after having a bad experience with tofu a few years back, i haven't touched the stuff (other than in desserts, pumpkin pie specifically) since then. yikes! this dish...... has rekindled my tofu flame. i KNOW it will either ignite yours or make it burn even brighter! trust fit foodie le on this one, friends. 
you'll need your food processor for sure; here's the affordable, user-friendly one i rock with. 
homemade pesto always tastes amazing cause it's so fresh! clearly i've been missing out. i used Barilla High Protein Farfalle and i chose Nasoya's Organic Extra Firm Tofu Plus which has been fortified with vitamins B2, B6, B12, D, and Calcium. it's spectacular for peeps on a no/low meat diet.
a few more key FAQs:
that moment... before i combined the powers that be. i snapped a little bit of the cooking process of this dish; did you catch it!? add me (fitfoodiele) and let me know what your snap chat is so i can follow your story too! i have truly enjoyed commenting and connecting on there. 
holy cannoli. i mean, i was blown away and impressed after one forkful. i don't care what anybody says- vegans eat DARN GOOD. you can find the recipe for this vegan masterpiece right here on Nasoya's website!
i have been encouraged to add more tofu to our weekly menu and give more vegan recipes a chance whirl. eating healthy does NOT meal sacrificing flavor; this recipe proves that to be true! TofuPlus not only reduces fat and cholesterol levels (when substituted with meat of course) but it will make both your body and your taste buds happy indeed.
look at this guy! i could not keep him away from this stuff during shooting. he was eating the tofu chunks too! now.. where is my nail clipper? sheesh
