How to Make Pasta With Tofu Ricotta And Tomato Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Drain soaked cashews and rinse well. In a food processor, combine cashews, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. In a medium bowl, mash the pressed tofu with a fork. Stir in the cashew cream, parsley, basil, onion granules, garlic granules, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  4. In a medium saucepan, heat the tomato sauce over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and keep warm.
  5. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  6. Add the tofu ricotta to the drained pasta. Toss well to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to create a creamy consistency.
  7. Serve immediately, spooning the tomato sauce over the pasta. Garnish with fresh basil (optional).
