Instructions

Start by steaming your carrot. Cut it into smaller pieces (I cut mine into about 6 pieces) and then place it into a pot. Cover with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until fork tender. Let cool.

Cook your pasta according to package instructions. Once done, drain and return to the pot.

In a blender, combine the steamed carrot along with the remaining ingredients: tofu, milk, broth, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt & pepper, and paprika. Blend until creamy smooth and NO chunks remain.

Pour the sauce over the noodles. If needed, you can cook it over medium heat for a few minutes to warm through.

Season to taste with additional salt and pepper and ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Blend Silken Tofu Twice for Ultra-Creaminess 🥣Blend the silken tofu separately first, then combine with the broth and milk mixture for an extra-smooth, lump-free sauce that rivals dairy cheese sauce.
- Toast Your Nutritional Yeast 🌟Lightly toast the nutritional yeast in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before adding to the sauce to deepen its umami flavor and eliminate any bitter aftertaste.
- Cook Carrot with Pasta Water 🥕Add diced carrot directly to your pasta pot during the last 5 minutes of cooking so it softens and sweetens the sauce naturally while adding body to the liquid.
- Build Flavor Layers with Spice Sequencing 🧄Bloom your garlic powder and smoked paprika in a hot pan with a splash of plant-based milk for 30 seconds before blending with tofu to maximize their aromatic impact.
- Reserve Pasta Water for Sauce Consistency 💧Keep 1 cup of starchy pasta water to adjust your sauce thickness after blending—it creates a silkier coating and helps the sauce cling better to each noodle.
