1/2 onion chopped⁣
3-5 cloves garlic minced⁣
3 oz sun-dried tomatoes ~1 cup packed, soak in hot water to soften, then strain⁣
1 14oz pack firm tofu drained and pressed of liquid⁣
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 1/2 cups pasta water + broth concentrate (like better than bouillon or just use veggie broth⁣)
1/2 lemon juiced⁣
1 tsp salt more to taste⁣
Lots of pepper⁣
12 oz bow tie pasta⁣
Fresh basil to top⁣

Cook your pasta as instructed on the packaging. Reserve 3 cups of pasta water before straining. ⁣
While your pasta’s cooking sauté your onion and garlic until translucent. ⁣
Transfer to a high speed blender the sautéed onion/garlic, tofu, sun-dried tomatoes, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and pasta water/or veggie broth. Blend until smooth, adding more veggie broth if needed. You want the texture to be similar to an alfredo. ⁣
Pour the sauce over your pasta, taste and adjust the flavor to your liking, adding more salt/pepper if needed. ⁣
