Recipe

  1. In a blender, add the silken tofu, milk, wholegrain mustard, cheese, garlic, nutmeg, paprika and lemon juice.

  2. Blend everything together to create a smooth sauce.

  3. Meanwhile, boil your pasta and peas according to packet instructions. Drain the water once cooked.

  4. Pour your cheese sauce into your pasta and pea pan, and mix everything together until the pasta is well coated.

  5. You could eat it like this, or you could bake it in a preheated fan oven at 180 degrees celcius for 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. (Note: Baking this will make the sauce “set” slightly” but it still tastes delicious!)
