Ingredients

  

For the sauce:

• 1 sweet potato cubed
• 1/4 white onion
• 1 garlic bulb top sliced off
• drizzle of olive oil
• 1 block tofu
• About 1/2-1 cup reserved pasta water
• 1/4 cup vegan milk of choice
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
• 2 tbsp gochujang paste
• 1/2 lime juiced
• Salt & pepper to taste
• optional: cayenne to taste

For the pasta:

• 4 servings cooked pasta of your choice
• Pumpkin seeds

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400F (205C). Cube the sweet potato. Add it to a parchment lined baking sheet with the onion and garlic bulb. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown and tender.
• Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve pasta water when straining.
• Once cooked, remove from oven and let cool slightly. Add the vegetables to a blender, squeeze the garlic out of the bulb and add about 1/2 your pasta water. Add the other ingredients (except for the pasta water) for the sauce and blend on high. Add the additional pasta water or vegan milk until smooth.
• Pour over the cooked pasta and toss until coated evenly. Top with pumpkin seeds, paprika or cayenne and enjoy.
