Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block silken tofu (refrigerated or shelf-stable will work in this recipe)
  • 4 T. nutritional yeast (If you can find it, I love the Roasted Garlic flavor from Bragg)
  • 1 t. onion powder
  • 2 t. garlic powder
  • 2 t. sea salt
  • 1 t. lemon juice (optional but adds a nice bright flavor)
  • 1 cup heated vegetable broth

Method
 

  1. Place all ingredients into a high powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If using with pasta, pour immediately over cooked pasta. Otherwise, store in large Mason jar or Pyrex dish in fridge and use as a "cheese" sauce throughout the week (over rice and veggie bowls, baked potatoes, open-face sandwiches, etc.)
  2. Note: The sauce will be a bit bubbly from the blending process, but this eventually settles!
