Creamy Lemon Pasta

For the sauce:

-8 oz. Silken tofu (trust)

-1 lemon zested and juiced

-2 cloves of garlic, minced

-Salt to taste

-Red pepper flakes to taste

-Olive oil and/or vegan butter for pan

For the pasta:

-1 batch homemade pasta

-Cooked broccoli (what we usually use) and/or spinach for some added green

Method:

Make pasta and reserve some pasta water before straining. Set aside.

In a blender, blend silken tofu, lemon juice, a healthy pinch of salt, and a little reserved pasta water. *Start with a little water - you can always add more.* Blend until smooth and set aside.

In a pan, heat the olive oil and/or vegan butter, then add the red pepper flakes, garlic and lemon zest. Cook for a minute on medium heat and then pour in the creamy sauce from your blender. Stir to combine and cook for a few minutes to heat everything together. Season with a little more salt.

Pour sauce over your pasta and season with a little more salt or red pepper flakes if needed.

Buon Appetito!
