Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 cup chopped oil marinated roasted red peppers
    1 cup firm silken tofu, drained and crumbled
    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 tablespoon dried basil
    2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon pepper
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 small can artichokes, drained and chopped
    2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (optional)
    soy parmesan (optional)
    4 servings of preferred pasta (I use bow-tie)

Directions:

Cook the pasta al dente.

Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender combine the red peppers, tofu, garlic, basil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and olive oil.

Process to a smooth consistency.

Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce, then add the artichokes.

Sprinkle with the parsley and soy parmesan if desired.

ENJOY!!

Variation:  You can also use 1 cup chopped oil marinated sun-dried tomatoes in place of the red peppers.  Both taste amazing!

Makes: approximately 4 servings, Preparation time: 20 minutes, Cooking time: 10 minutes

 This was sooooo good!! It was really easy to make. I followed the recipe, except I did'nt use the soy parmesan. I don't think it needs it. Next time I might try using the tomatoes in place of the peppers.

Really good!!! I used the sundried tomato version. I had to process the sauce for a LONG time and add a good bit of soymilk to get it semi-smooth. Turns out semi-smooth is pretty good. I used a 8.5 oz jar of sundried tomatoes, a 14 oz box of tofu, 4 cloves of garlic, and used 1/2 Tbsp basil and 1/2 Tbsp Italian seasoning. I'd also say you could coat 5 servings of pasta with the amount of sauce it makes. I served it alongside roasted asparagus. YUM!

Wow...this is delicious.  I added a lot of veggies and thigns to mine: black olives, asparagus, broccoli, assorted bell peppers, pine nuts, and morningstar farms chicken strips. It was so, so good.  I made a whole pound and ate it throughout the week.  Maybe next time I'll try the sundried tomato version Smiley

This sauce was awesome and so easy!  I didn't have the red peppers so I subbed for a few pepperchinis which isn't even necessary.  I tried the sauce before I put the peporchinis in and it tasted great, very strong flavor which I found surprising.  Didn't have any artichokes either; instead used  broccoli and kale on angle hair pasta.  Will definitely be making again - very excited to try the sun dried tomato version.

Loved this sauce.  It was so amazingly easy and tasty.  I will definitely be using this again on those days when I don't feel like cooking a lot.

Also makes a tasty dip for breadsticks!

This is really good and simple.  I used roasted red peppers and sundried tomatoes.  I also added a little nutritional yeast.

This was delicious. I used peppers and tomatoes, and skipped the artichokes and used a little chopped spinach instead. It turned out quite chunky, but it still tasted great.

This was soooooooooo..... good! I used about 1 cup of sun-dried tomatoes, not packed in oil, the dry kind. I crammed them in my food processor along with the tofu, and everything else. I mixed in a little 'better than' cream cheese 'cause I was a little short on the tofu. no artichokes, and added a little tomato sauce 'cause sometimes my boyfriend is skeptical of new stuff..
But he loved it and requested it again. Our omni friend had some too and he scarfed it up. Definitey a keeper!

thanks!

This has become part of the regular recipe rotation for dinner.  It is amazing how quickly and easily this tasty recipe comes together.  Took this recipe to an omni potluck and it got compliments about the creaminess from everyone.  Even the girls on their pre-wedding diets thought it was amazing that the recipe didn't use any cheese./butter 

 I've only made it using sun dried tomatoes.  I use the julienned sun dried tomatoes from TJ's, which is the perfect size, yielding approximately 1 cup.  Then I use the oil from the bottom of the jar if I need any olive oil.  Don't  really need to use a lot of herbs or spices since the tomatoes are already seasoned.  Though the recipe doesn't call for heating, I like to gently heat it on the stove, while adding a couple of tablespoons of nutritional yeast.  If I feel like getting a bit fancy, I also add a couple of tablespoons of vegan cream cheese (Tofutti Better than Cream Cheese).  The sun dried tomato version goes well with steamed/sauteed baby portabello mushrooms and wilted baby spinach.

 Thumbs Up Me and my son gobbled this down and left absolutely nothing for the next day. This recipe is sooooo easy and simple, not to mention out of this world when it comes to taste! I used fresh chopped basil, and next time I'll use a little less garlic. I won't put the garlic in the blender with the rest of the ingredients either. It made the garlic way to strong. I already plan on picking up these ingredients and making it again next week. My son wants me to make extra so he can take it in his thermos for lunch. He things it's better than mac N cheese.

Yum, this was really nice and creamy.  I didn't have any artichokes which was fine by me.  It seems pretty versatile - I could imagine using it as a cracker spread or veggie dip upon cooling.   Thumbs Up

We loved this. So easy to make. For the olive oil, I used the stuff from the jar. I think 2 cloves is too much garlic, and I'm a garlic fanatic. I added a bit of soymilk to make it saucier and heated it over the stove for a bit. I sauteed some broccoli in the oil from the pepper jar and mixed them in as well. It was delicious chilled the next day as a pasta salad type dish.

P.S. I blended the artichokes and it definitely made it creamier.

Quite good and very flavorful. I used oregano instead of basil because I don't care for basil. Mine came out very tangy, probably because of the brand of marinated red peppers I used which was packed in  a water/vinegar solution rather than oil. If I use this brand again, I'll probably cut the added vinegar a little. Served with broccoli. I will definitely make this again.
