Ingredients

1 - carrot
1 lb - pasta of choice
1 block - silken tofu
½ cup - vegetable broth
1 cup - plant-based milk
2 teaspoons - Italian seasoning
1 tsp - garlic powder
2 ½ tablespoons - nutritional yeast
salt and pepper to taste
¼ tsp - smoked paprika

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!
