Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 cups cold wafer

10 1/2 ounces reduced-fat extra-firm silken tofu

OR 1/2 lb. reduced-fat medium-firm tofu -- or firm

regular

1/4 cup dry white wine

OR 3 tablespoons water

PLUS 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

or lemon juice

1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 1/2 tablespoons chicken-style broth powder

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons garlic granules

2 1/2 tablespoons Sesame Meal -- (opt.)

(see separate recipe)

1 1/2 cups hot or boiling water

 

Makes about 4 1/4 cups (enough for about 2 pounds pasta)

 

This sauce is thick, creamy, rich, and cheesy-tasting--one of my husband's

favorites.

 

Combine all ingredients except the hot or boiling water in a blender. When

smooth, add hot or boiling water and blend again.

 

Pour into a heavy saucepan, and stir over high heat constantly until it

comes to a boil. Turn down and simmer on low for a few minutes.

 

Use Creamy Pasta Sauce to make carbonnera by tossing with spaghetti, lots

of freshly ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons vegetarian bacon bits, and

soy Parmesan. Also, serve with steam-fried vegetables, such as mushrooms

and onions, chopped, frozen spinach (well-squeezed), other greens, and

chopped, steamed dried tomatoes.
