I like dairy, but I’m not really sure that it likes me back. As such, I’ve been on a quest to figure out how to make the ultimate dairy-free sauce that is silky smooth, and doesn’t compromise on taste or satisfaction, and I think that this silken tofu sauce really hits the spot.

It does have a mild tofu taste if you eat it straight, but once you season it a little and toss the pasta in it, you’ll barely notice it. This might be a little controversial but I actually think that this is better than using cream.

Sauce ingredients

  • 150g silken tofu
  • 1/3 cup cup water

We served it with

  • 2 rashers of bacon
  • 75g spinach
  • 1/2 brown onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Cheese (optional)
  • Pasta

Method

  1. Cook pasta according to package
  2. Cut bacon into bite-sized pieces. Dice onion and mince the garlic
  3. Cook the bacon in the frying pan until it has some nice colour, before adding in the onion and garlic
  4. While that is cooking, add the silken tofu and water to a blender and blend for around 30 seconds, or until it is smooth
  5. Pour it into the frying pan and cook for a couple of minutes. Stir the spinach through the cooked pasta to help it to wilt before adding both to the frying pan
  6. Stir the cheese through and serve up
