This silken tofu pasta sauce blends up in just 5 minutes with no chopping and no cooking! Using pantry staples like jarred roasted red peppers and nutritional yeast, it’s a creamy, flavorful, slightly smoky sauce that goes so well with your favourite pasta or gnocchi.

Silken Tofu Pasta Sauce with Roasted Red Peppers

silken tofu (I've used 12-14 oz packs with equal success)

red peppers (drained)

nutritional yeast

garlic powder

salt

thyme

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

lemon juice

pepper

Place all of the sauce ingredients in a blender. Blend on low until peppers break down, then slowly increase speed to medium high and blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes total.

Taste and adjust salt if needed. Too acidic? Lacking umami? see notes in blog post.

Toss with hot pasta and serve.

I made this with frozen roasted red peppers...I thought they were bell peppers but they were mostly jalapeños! So it was very spicy! I wonder if this pasta should have been tossed with a knob of butter as for the mac n cheese? The leftovers benefited from this addition. The leftover sauce was indeed a great sauce for burritos the next day.

This was so easy to make.  Didn’t have a jar of roasted red peppers so just chopped up two fresh ones and roasted with some olive oil in the toaster oven for 20 min.  Also, kid approved! 😁
