This would technically work with other types of tofu but if you want it silky smooth, I suggest using silken tofu for this sauce!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Drain Tofu Thoroughly 💧Press silken tofu between paper towels for 10-15 minutes before blending to remove excess moisture, which prevents a watery sauce and allows the creamy texture to develop properly.
- Char Your Red Peppers 🔥If using fresh peppers instead of jarred, char them directly over a flame or under the broiler until blackened, then steam in a covered bowl—this deepens the flavor and makes peeling effortless.
- Bloom Your Aromatics 🧄Sauté minced garlic and shallots in olive oil for 1-2 minutes until fragrant before adding other ingredients, which releases essential oils and creates a rich, foundational flavor base for your sauce.
- Finish with Lemon at the End 🍋Add lemon juice in the final 30 seconds of cooking to preserve its brightness and prevent the acidic flavor from becoming muted or bitter when heated too long.
- Achieve Silky Texture with High-Speed Blending ✨Use a high-powered blender for at least 60 seconds to create an ultra-creamy, velvety sauce that coats the pasta evenly without any grainy texture from the tofu.
