Instructions
Cooking mode
- Get your pasta on to boil in a pan of salty water.
- In the meantime - blend the tofu, peppers, sun dried tomatoes, tomato purée, spices (see ingredients), vinegar, parmesan, salt, pepper and water until you get a completely smooth, creamy sauce.
- Add an additional splash of water if needed to thin.
- Transfer the sauce into a pan and warm through on a low-medium heat.
- Add a splash of your pasta water to the sauce to thin further and emulsify.
- Once al dente, drain your pasta and transfer it straight into the pan with your sauce.
- Gently toss the pasta in the sauce until fully coated.
- I like to top mine with some breadcrumbs and parsley, but do as you please!
