red bell pepper

tomatoes

onion

garlic

olive oil

oz lentil pasta ((or pasta of choice))

oz block silken tofu (drained)

cashews (soaked)

Italian seasoning

tsp smoked paprika powder

Salt and black pepper

water (or dairy-free milk)

herbs

Red pepper flakes (optional)

You can watch the short video for visual instructions.First, preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C), remove the bell pepper stem and seeds, then chop it and the onion into 6 wedges. Also, quarter the tomatoes and cut the top off the head of garlic.

Grease a 13x9-inch dish with olive oil, spread the veggies within and drizzle with a little more oil.

Roast the veggies for 30-40 minutes until tender with slightly charred edges.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to their package instructions, minus 1-2 minutes, until al dente.

Transfer the bell pepper, tomatoes, and onion to a high-speed blender, squeeze the tender roasted garlic from the skins into the blender, and add the silken tofu, cashews, seasonings, and water (or veg broth/milk).

Blend on high speed until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.

Taste and adjust seasonings, then transfer the sauce back to a saucepan and heat, then fold in the cooked pasta and serve, garnished with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes – enjoy!
