INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Boil the soy drink and remove from the stove once it starts boiling. Stir with a wooden spoon and add the vinegar. Keep stirring until the soy drink gets flaky. Let it sit for half an hour. In the meantime, the flakes of the soy drink will settle at the bottom of the pan and separate from the clear serum.
  2. Carefully remove the serum, then drain the flakes with a colander and place them in a mould. Let it sit in the fridge for at least one hour.
  3. Clean the zucchini and slice them. Sauté them in a pan with a few oil, half a clove of garlic and some fresh mint leaves. In a food processer, combine the almonds and the other half of garlic.
  4. Mix them, then add the zucchini and some more fresh mint leaves. Process again, then add the soy ricotta and a tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, add salt to taste and mix to obtain a cream.
  5. Boil the black beans pasta with salted water, drain it al dente and keep one glass of cooking water.
  6. Season the pasta with the zucchini cream and add some cooking water if needed. Serve with some fresh mint leaves and some soy ricotta cheese.
