Simple, yet tasty. That’s how I would describe this vegan pasta alfredo. The great thing about this dish is that it also contains quite a bunch of protein thanks to the tofu and the white beans. I love mixing in tofu in a number of my dishes because it’s quite tasteless, has a soft texture, and therefore blends in well with the other ingredients. Would definitely recommend giving this a try!
Add cauliflower into blender with beans, tofu, pasta cooking water, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and garlic. Blend until smooth (add more water if you need it).
