Cooking Directions

  • Cook noodles until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving a 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
  • Prepare broccoli: Bring water to a boil and fit with a steamer basket. Add the broccoli and cover, cooking until bright green and not overly tender.
  • In a pan set on medium high heat, sauté onion and garlic until tender.
  • In a food processer, create tofu “cheese” sauce by combining onion mix, tofu, nutritional yeast, mustard, oil, salt and pepper and pulse until smooth. Add water until desired consistency is reached.
  • Warm the “cheese” sauce on the stove top on low heat, stirring frequently (about 10 minutes).
  • Add noodle and broccoli with cheese sauce and cook for additional 5 minutes. Serve warm.
