Creamy Parmesan Spaghetti

Spaghetti in a creamy dairy free parmesan sauce. Would you guess there’s tofu in there? Silken tofu is a wonderful substitute for cream, simply blend one block with 200ml of unsweetened plant milk with a blender or food processor. Use in pasta sauces, curry sauce, soups or stews. It will keep in the fridge for up to five days in an airtight container.

Yield; Two servings (422kcal per serving) Cook time; Fifteen minutes

You’ll need;

  1. Two tablespoons of non-dairy margarine
  2. One clove of garlic, minced
