INGREDIENTS
1 x 300g pack of silken tofu
2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
Pasta of choice (to boost the protein, use a protein pasta - my favourite is Vetta spaghetti or San Remo pulse pasta for my GF guys and gals!)
Brussel sprouts
Mushrooms, sliced
Fresh parsley and chilli flakes to top!
METHOD
Add pasta to a pot of boiling water and cook according to packet instructions. You can also add your brussel sprouts to this pot and allow them to cook at the same time. Once the pasta is cooked, strain and place back into the pot.
While the pasta is cooking, fry your mushrooms in a non-stick pan or in a dash of olive oil until golden brown.
Place the tofu, garlic cloves, olive oil, nutritional yeast, and salt & pepper into a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour the blended tofu mixture over the cooked pasta and brussel sprouts until well combined. Stir in the mushrooms.
Serve in a bowl and top with more salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, fresh parsley, and optional chilli flakes - enjoy!
