tofu cheese sauce

Creamy Tofu Pasta Sauce is a delicious and healthy alternative to dairy and a lighter option than vegan sauces made with nuts. Enjoy it on pasta as a garlicky tofu cream sauce, or add one more ingredient to transform it into a tofu cheese sauce that&#039;s perfect for mac and cheese! Only 7 ingredients and 10 minutes prep time. Gluten-free, oil-free and nut-free.Yield: makes about 2¼ cups of sauce, enough for 8 ounces of dry pasta. Double the recipe for a full pound of pasta.

Silken Tofu Pasta Sauce

silken tofu (I prefer the refrigerated type)

Tablespoons nutritional yeast (For the best flavor choose a non-fortified brand like Sari)

lemon zest, optional

lemon juice

white wine vinegar

fine sea salt

mustard,

red pepper

Plan

Note that as written the recipe makes about 2¼ cups of sauce, enough for 8 ounces of dry pasta. For a full pound of pasta, prepare a double batch of sauce.

Blend

Combine all ingredients except the roasted red pepper, if using, in a full size blender. Start on low speed, then increase to high. Blend until smooth. Stop to scrape down the side of the blender as needed.

Season

Taste the sauce, and add more lemon, garlic, salt, or nutritional yeast as desired. Add a small piece of roasted red pepper, if using, and blend again. Taste and add more if you like.

Simmer

If not serving right away, transfer to an airtight storage container and refrigerate until ready to use. Otherwise, pour into a saucepan. While whisking, cook over medium-low heat until bubbly and hot, 3-4 minutes.

Serve

Toss with your choice of cooked pasta, or serve as a sauce over roasted vegetables, potatoes, french fries, and more.

I made it in about 5 minutes, and took it to my sister's house where she was serving spaghetti with meat sauce. It was really good as a vegan alternative, and the omnivores who tried it, agreed.

This came out great, Lori. I did add the roasted red pepper and spinach. Thanks! Have a wonderful holiday.

My hub said he loved it!  Made the Mac and cheese version for lunch today!  I didn’t have roasted red peppers or silky tofu…but I subbed half of a sweet potato for color and used firm tofu….best ev-er!  Thanks Lori ❤️
