Pumpkin Alfredo, by Manifest Vegan
1 package of your favorite pasta, 12-16 oz. (I highly recommend Tinkyada brand for Gluten Free)
Sauce ingredients:
1 package (12 oz.) extra firm silken tofu
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 cup ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal)
1/2 – 1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
olive oil and sea salt to taste
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking, combine all sauce ingredients together in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
When pasta is finished cooking, drain, rinse and return to pot. Toss in a light amount of olive oil to evenly coat the noodles. Salt lightly if desired.
Awesome with pecans mixed in!
Combine the sauce with the pasta until the desired pasta/sauce ratio is reached. This recipe makes enough to generously coat 14 oz. box or bag of dried pasta.
