Delicious vegan pasta dish with creamy tomato sauce using silken tofu.
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Cook pasta as per package directions. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2-3/4 cup cooking water.
  2. Steam broccoli until tender, about 6-7 minutes.
  3. Puree the tofu in a food processor or blender, until smooth.
  4. In a medium saucepan combine tofu, pasta sauce and enough reserved pasta water to create a creamy sauce. Cook sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Do not boil.
  5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Transfer pasta to serving bowl; add broccoli, and toss to mix.
  7. Top with sauce, and serve.
My Notes:
  1. I did not measure the servings exactly, but I'm sure it is enough to feed at least 3 adults.
  2. The original recipe had 1/2 cup chopped black olives. If you want to use it, you should add it to the sauce while it's heating.
  3. If you are able to find reduced-fat firm silken tofu use it, because that was mentioned in the original recipe. I didn't get it, so I have used Mori Nu's regular silken tofu.
  4. My son loves broccoli, so there was almost nothing left for the pasta when we sat down to eat. I had a pack of frozen Italian vegetables (broccoli, carrots and cauliflower). So I steamed it and tossed it with the pasta. That was good too.
