Ep 2/10 - easy vegan recipes. Creamy lemon pasta without the cream! π
I thought you would miss the cheese in this but the flavours are so good you really donβt. Plus silken tofu is packed full of protein! πͺπ»
Ingredients
Silken tofu
2-3 garlic cloves
1 tsp of dijon mustard and miso paste
Juice of 1 lemon and zest
Chilli flakes
Pasta of choice, I used paccheri (250g)
Salt + black pepper
Fresh basil
Method
1. Blitz together silken tofu, garlic, miso paste, mustard, chilli flakes and lemon juice.
2. Cook pasta is salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve a mug of pasta water.
3. Heat the creamy lemon sauce in a pan over medium heat for approx 5 mins while pasta is cooking.
4. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, mix until fully coated. Add a little pasta water to create a silky texture, keep adding pasta water until you get your desired consistency. (the pasta absorbs a lot of the water)
5. Serve in a bowl, top with black pepper, lemon zest and fresh basil - enjoy! π
