"Meaty" Summer Cream Sauce

This recipe is a great end to a summer day. It can be used over any pasta. It works great with three color pastas. The picture shows regular spaghetti, because that's all I had on hand when I made it. It utilizes fresh Campari tomatoes and garden basil. If you haven't tried these tomatoes yet, do so!! They are a fantastic tomato for pastas and salads.

"Meaty" Summer Cream Sauce

1 package silken tofu (not the anti-sceptic package)

5 Campari tomatoes

3 sprigs of fresh garden basil

salt and black pepper to taste

Here is how simple this recipe is. Blend all ingredients in a blender, then heat to a low boil in a sauce pan. Serve over pasta, preferably three color. That's it! How simple is this great dish?!

Blackened Tofu - Seasoning Review

Today for lunch I wanted something spicy, and I also had a few spare cubes of tofu. Blackened tofu came straight to my mind. I found a recipe on Allrecipes.com for Blackened Chicken. That is my favorite website to look up recipes I can't find in cookbooks and veganize them. This is how I get most of my ideas for my vegan recipes. It usually takes cooking a few failures, but in the end, I always get a very nice finish! Give it a try!

This seasoning mix was very spicy. If you are not a fan of something really spicy, then just leave out the cayenne pepper. Adjust the cayenne to how much spice you want. The recipe's suggestion of 1/4 tsp. had my mouth burning for a while, so keep that in mind while mixing this.

Overall, this recipe is quite tasty, but it is only for those who can handle a little spiciness. It is definitely not a recipe you make for guests. There are many people with an allergy to cayenne pepper, so exercise caution when serving this dish.


I rate this recipe with 3 Onigiris!
