One Pan Creamy Tomato Vodka Pasta (Dairy free, high protein, gluten free)

0 Heat a large pot over medium low heat. Add a splash of water or cooking oil to coat.
1 Add in the garlic and shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender and fragrant, before adding in the tomato paste and tomatoes and stirring to combine. Deglaze the pan with vodka and let the liquid evaporate before adding in the noodles, pouring in the water, and adding the bouillon cubes, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes.
2 Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover, cooking for 10-12 minutes until noodles are al dente.
3 Meanwhile, add the tofu to a blender with a splash of water and puree until smooth and pourable.
4 Once pasta has cooked, pour in the pureed tofu, add the nutritional yeast, balsamic vinegar and lemon juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper before folding in the spinach and basil. Stir just until wilted.
5 Serve hot and never hesitate to garnish with a sprinkle of dairy-free parm!
