Ingredients
  

  • 320 g block firm Tofu
  • 1 heaped tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp cracked black pepper
  • Large pinch salt
  • 250 ml pasta water
  • 250 ml plant based milk
  • 4 portions spaghetti
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 3 small shallots finely diced
  • Glug olive oil
  • 100 g spinach

Instructions
 

  • Blend all of the tofu mix together & set aside, the more black pepper the better
  • Pop the spaghetti onto boil in heavily salted water
  • Fry off the minced shallots and garlic in a pan with olive oil, after 4-5 minutes add the creamy sauce along with the 250ml pasta water and mix together, KEEP THE HEAT LOW. If the pan gets too hot it’ll ruin the sauce
  • Add the cooked pasta, fresh spinach and mix together
  • Top each bowl with more salt & pepper to taste and a glug of extra virgin olive oil

Notes

If you want to reheat, add another 200ml plant based milk to the pan to help loosen the spaghetti sauce
