Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Ingredients -
Pasta (Rotini or a smaller, tight noodle)
1 package Silk Soft Tofu
Roasted Red Peppers in Jar
3 cloves minced garlic
4 oz of tomato paste
3-4 leaves freshly chopped Fresh Basil
1/4 cupParmesan Cheese
1 tsp (to taste) Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp Oregano
Cup of frozen peas

Cook pasta in water with a pinch of salt. When almost done, add frozen peas. Cook for another couple of minutes. Strain pasta and peas and return back to the pot.


Meanwhile, in food processor, combine all other ingredients and pulse for a couple of minutes until combined. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour the tofu/pepper mixture into pot with the pasta and the peas. Combine the sauce and pasta and heat for about 5 minutes, until sauce is heated through.


This recipe was so easy and it was a nice change from marinara or red sauce, but wasn't as heavy as a cream sauce.
