Vegan Peanut Penne Pasta
Pasta dishes can sometimes be complicated while others super simple. This Penne Pasta Recipe literally has dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes. I was really impressed with how easy everything was and how delicious it turned out. Almost all the ingredients I had on hand at home and so I just decided to whip something up real quick.
Delicious Rating: I rated this easy to cook, delicious to eat, and a definite on cooking again. Use different veggies if you prefer but the carrot and broccoli combo is great. Less spice for children. We had some leftovers and it was important that I add some more soy milk to the pasta when I reheated it for a smooth texture of the sauce. Let me know how this recipe turns out for you!

What if you did not want to use the tofu? Would the sauce still work out. Sounds delish.
I am pretty sure the sauce would still be great without the tofu. You can thicken it with some corn starch or even use 1/2 cup of ground almonds and increase the liquid if necessary. If you don’t need a vegan substitute just try sour cream!
