The YUMMIEST linguine with sun-dried tomato pesto EVER (oh... and its vegan)
Oh my! This is SO yummy! The original recipe is from The Garden of Vegan I have never enjoyed a tofu dish before. Its terrible, but I just cannot cook the stuff. What kind of vegetarian could I be?!
Well... Now I'm officially a tofu convert Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Sauce Dry pasta (enough for 2 people) 1 12-oz package soft or silken tofu 1/4 cup olive oil 1 1/2 cups fresh basil 1/2 cup fresh parsley 10 sun-dried tomatoes 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped 1/4 tsp salt (I omitted this - I'm not a salt person) 3 tbsp pine nuts dry roasted (I didn't dry roast mine) In a large pot of water, boil the pasta. While the pasta is cooking, put tofu, oil, basil, parsley, tomatoes, garlic, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend it until it is smooth. Pour into saucepan and add pine nuts. Heat until it is warm. Toss with cooked pasta. Seriously, this tastes like a perfect pesto-y alfredo.

Probably. I've done white bean recipes before that worked very well
You could probably do a small amount of rice milk instead too. Its really just for texture and creaminess.

Hmmmm, that does sound good.
I wonder if I could stomach it.... I used to make tofu weekly, and my favorite recipe was a tofu one, but then during my pregnancy before this one, it made me really sick and I haven't been able to eat it since. Maybe this will do the trick!

This sounds so EASY!!!
Do you think I could make this tomorrow even though my tofu says use by today? (I'm being lazy and don't want to go to the store for parsley and basil) |
