Tofu 'creamy' Pasta Sauce

Recipe #163358 | 15 min | 10 min prep | add private note

This works well as a creamy sauce for pasta. Especially useful for those unable to have dairy or tomato sauces. This is a beginning point, and maybe quite useful for Elimination Diets. For those with less restrictions, I'd suggest adding herbs and onions to taste. (I plan on developing such a recipe once I'm allowed onions again.) I've been eating this with rice & millet pasta twists.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Blend the tofu, garlic, parsley, herbs, paprika, & salt. (Add any herbs you want.).
  2. 2
    Then thin with soy milk to achieve consistency. I like mine rather thick so it coats the pasta.
  3. 3
    When mixed, heat thoroughly in a pan before putting on pasta. (It tends too cool too quick if just poured over pasta and quickly heated.) DON'T LET IT BOIL THOUGH! It will seperate and turn pasty if you do, which just isn't pleasant.

I made this more in hope than expectation because I wasn't sure if this might be a bit bland. But no one in a million years could accuse this wonderful pasta sauce of blandness. Mr B gave this 4 stars, but I'm giving it an extra star for being so quick and easy to make. An ideal recipe for when time is tight, but you still want a tasty meal.

    Ok I just came across this recipe today so I haven't tried it yet but couldn't hold in my excitement to find a non-dairy, non-tomato sauce. I can't wait to actually make this. Thanks for having a recipe for us who can't eat what most people can.
