Super simple – and oh so good.
PUt the Almond MIlk, Tofu, 3 Garlic Cloves, Cashews, 2 tbs EVOO in a blender or super food processor. Blend until very smooth (but try not to let it heat).
In a wok or large non-stick pan, put remaining 1 tbs EVOO and heat to medium high. Add remaining garlic and sun dried tomatoes. Don’t cook it too long, just a couple of minutes. Work it all together.
Reduce heat to medium low, and add the sauce from the blender.
Stir together, add italian spices and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over whole wheat pasta… decorate with Basil if desired…
ENJOY!!
I tried this recipe with what I had in hand. Rice milk instead of almond milk, almost a cup of raw cashews, silk tofo but not the dry pack. And even that way, it came out really good, my girls 4 and 6 LOVED it, they just complained that it was spicy, you can taste the garlic.
Will try it again with the right ingredients and less garlic.
Thanks
