Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 15-ounce can cannellini beans (white kidney beans), drained and rinsed
2 medium cloves garlic (peeled)
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
1 1/2 pounds zucchini (spiralized (I use the ribbons blade on my spiralizer))
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
Fresh minced parsley and/or fresh basil cut into ribbons
Extra drizzle of olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Add the drained beans, garlic, almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pitcher of a blender (high-speed blender is best). Puree, blending for about a minute until completely smooth. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. You may also want to add more garlic if your garlic is mild and/or you reallllly love garlic.
  • Make and cook the zucchini pasta: Using a spiralizer, cut the zucchini into ribbons. Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. When hot, add the zucchini. Saute, stirring occasionally, until tender and reduced in size a bit, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add sauce! Pour the sauce over the top. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 more minutes.
  • Top with herbs and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve.

TOFU ' CREAMY' PASTA SAUCE



Tofu ' Creamy' Pasta Sauce image

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.

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces firm silken tofu, drained (but not pressed)
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil (or herb of choice)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup soymilk (approximately)

Steps:

  • Blend the tofu, garlic, parsley, herbs, paprika, and salt. (Add any herbs you want).
  • Then thin with soy milk to achieve consistency. I like mine rather thick so it coats the pasta.
  • 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 separate and turn pasty if you do, which just isn't pleasant.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet to make the sauce to prevent splattering.
  • Do not rinse the pasta after cooking, as this will remove the starch that helps the sauce adhere to the pasta.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce while it is still hot to help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of pasta water to thin it out.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and additional herbs or spices.

Conclusion:

Faux Fredo Pasta Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is made with simple ingredients that are likely already in your pantry and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your sauce thick or thin, spicy or mild, this recipe can be easily adjusted to suit your needs.
