Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 16-oz block silken tofu (drained)
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ to ½ cup vegetable broth
Instructions
- Blend: In a blender, combine the silken tofu, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper. Begin blending and gradually drizzle in the vegetable broth until the sauce reaches a smooth, creamy, and saucy consistency. This should take about 2 minutes.
- Heat: Transfer the blended tofu sauce into a medium saucepan and place it over medium-low heat. Cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until it is warmed through and starts to steam, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. This will help meld the flavors and achieve the perfect warm sauce texture.
- Serve: Pour the warm Marry Me Tofu Sauce over cooked pasta, steamed or roasted vegetables, or drizzle over crispy tofu for a satisfying, tasty meal. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- To make crispy tofu, press extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture, cut into cubes, and pan-fry or bake until golden and crisp before serving with the sauce.
- The sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil add richness; if using dry sun-dried tomatoes, rehydrate them before blending.
- You can adjust the amount of vegetable broth to modify the sauce thickness to your liking.
- This sauce is a versatile dairy-free, vegan alternative to creamy tomato sauces.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
