white baking dish with vegan creamy roasted tomato pasta made with silken tofu.

Creamy Roasted Tomato Pasta {Vegan}

Decadently creamy with a punch of roasted tomato flavor, this creamy Roasted Tomato Pasta is easily the best way to warm up on a cool night. Just roast your tomatoes and veggies, blend them into a naturally creamy sauce with my secret ingredient - silken tofu - then stir over freshly cooked pasta and broccolini. No nuts, no dairy, no fuss, and 100% delicious.

Equipment

  • large pot
  • baking dish
  • blender
  • colander

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package silken tofu
  • 15 oz canned white beans drained
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 10 small tomatoes
  • 5 baby bell peppers
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch salt
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • 16 oz pasta
  • 1 bunch baby broccolini chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400
  • In an oven safe baking pan put garlic, white beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, olive oil, salt and oregano. Bake for 20 minutes
  • Meanwhile, cook rigatoni according to package, adding the broccolini to the cooking pasta for the last 3-4 minutes. Drain and reserve until the roasted items are ready.
  • Make the sauce by adding the contents of the baking pan minus the tomato and pepper stems which are to be discarded, plus the block of silken tofu to a blender. Blend until smooth. Be careful because the contents will be hot and some blender tops can pop off because of the steam. Hold the top on with a kitchen towel while blending to prevent burns. Taste for salt and add more if desired for your tastes
  • Pour the creamy, blended sauce over the rigatoni and broccolini. Mix until well combined. Garnish with optional crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Enjoy for 4 days when properly cooled, covered and refrigerated.

Notes

For storage: Let the pasta cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
To reheat, either microwave in 1 minute bursts, stirring between each one, or warm in a pan on the stove. You may need to add a little extra water to thin out the thickened sauce.
