Ingredients

  • 300g pasta (we used penne)
  • 200g jar roasted red peppers
  • 290g silken tofu , drained
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • ½ lemon , juiced
  • 10g chives , finely sliced (optional)

Method

  1. Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water following pack instructions. Put the peppers, tofu, nutritional yeast, soy sauce and lemon juice in a high-powered blender and blitz until completely smooth. Pour into a saucepan over a medium heat and warm through.

  2. Once the pasta is cooked, transfer to the saucepan using a slotted spoon, and mix well. Season lightly, then divide between two bowls and sprinkle over the chives, if using.
