Ingredients
- 250 g vine tomatoes
- Drizzle of olive oil
Sauce
- 275 g silken tofu
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 75 g sundried tomatoes
- Chilli flakes to taste
- 2 cloves garlic
- 50 ml vegetable stock/ hot water
Pasta
- 250 g protein pasta
- Generous amounts of black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 200°c. Spread your tomatoes across a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes.
-
A few minutes before your tomatoes are due to be ready, start cooking your pasta. My lentil pasta takes 7-8 minutes, but check your packet instructions.
-
Add all other ingredients to a blender along with the roasted tomatoes when they’re ready (add the juices too).
-
Blend until smooth. You should have a creamy orangey red liquid. Transfer your sauce to a large frying pan for a minute or two on low medium heat. When your pasta is ready, drain it then add to the frying pan with the sauce. Stir to thoroughly combine. Add the black pepper and stir again. Keep on the heat for a minute or two before serving, stirring often.
