Ingredients

1 tbsp - olive oil
1 lb - pasta
1 - shallot
2 cloves - garlic
15 ounces - silken tofu*
1 cup - plant based milk
2 tablespoons - lemon juice
2 teaspoons - Italian seasoning
1 tsp - garlic powder
2 ½ tablespoons - nutritional yeast
Salt and pepper
12 ounces - roasted red peppers

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the shallot and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring often.
Add the shallot + garlic mixture to a blender with the remaining ingredients. Blend until creamy and smooth.
Pour sauce into a large skillet (I used the same skillet I used for the shallot). Heat up the sauce over medium heat, add in the pasta and stir to combine until heated through. Add in salt and pepper to taste and ENJOY!
This would technically work with other types of tofu but if you want it silky smooth, I suggest using silken tofu for this sauce!
