Silken Tofu and Spinach Penne

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Cook pasta as per packaging instructions. Drain, and reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water. Set pasta aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, add spinach to a pan on medium heat and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Add a tbsp of pasta water to spinach if it sticks to the pan.

Step 3

Transfer spinach to a blender along with tofu, nutritional yeast, cashews, garlic and olive oil and generous pinches of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a tbsp or so of pasta water to the sauce, if needed, to loosen it up.

Step 4

Pour spinach sauce into the pan used earlier and heat on low until warm. Transfer cooked pasta into sauce and stir to combine.

Step 5

Serve with parmesan and pepper flakes, if desired.
