Tofu Creamy Pasta Sauce
This works well as a creamy sauce for pasta. Especially useful for those unable to have dairy or tomato sauces. This is a beginning point and maybe quite useful for Elimination Diets. For those with less restrictions, I'd suggest adding herbs and onions to taste. I've been eating this with rice & millet pasta twists.

Step-by-step
- Blend the tofu, garlic, parsley, herbs, paprika, and salt. (Add any herbs you want).
- Then thin with soy milk to achieve consistency. I like mine rather thick so it coats the pasta.
- When mixed, heat thoroughly in a pan before putting on pasta. (It tends to cool too quick if just poured over pasta and quickly heated.)
- DON'T LET IT BOIL THOUGH! It will separate and turn pasty if you do, which just isn't pleasant.
