Creamy vegan tofu tomato spaghetti recipe where the tofu is blended into the sauce so you won’t even taste it. This high protein dinner or lunch meal (28 g protein) is also great for weight loss (450 calories).

Would you like to enjoy the health benefits of tofu but can’t stand the taste?

Tofu is a great plant based protein source because it provides a complete amino acid profile. It is a soy product that might also help prevent certain types of cancer and it is super cheap. But have you tried it?

In my first year eating a vegan diet I tried tofu once and never again. I simply could not figure out how to make it taste good, so I got my protein from other plant based sources like beans, lentils, and nuts.

Then it hit me: What if I just blend it with other ingredients into a well seasoned sauce? Turns out that was a great idea and it kind of tastes like a vegan ricotta cheese creamy sauce.

I mixed the sauce with cashews, tomato sauce, garlic, and more. Then I added basil and oregano for taste. I also like to add lots of veggies to my meals for a balanced diet. Below you can read more about the nutrition of the sun dried tomato pasta recipe, the cost, and you can print the recipe.
