Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 ounces white or brown rice elbow noodles
  • 14 ounces silken tofu
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 5 tablespoons green chiles (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 tablespoons Earth Balance buttery spread
  • Salt and pepper

Instruction

  • Cook noodles as per directions, but 3-4 minutes less than cooking time, since you'll be cooking noodles in the sauce later. Drain pasta, reserving a 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
  • Mix silken tofu, nutritional yeast, half the green chiles, corn starch, turmeric, chili powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper in food processor.
  • Pour the sauce into a pan. Add salsa, the other half of green chiles, and Earth Balance. Cook on medium heat until the Earth Balance melts. Add pasta and pasta water. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until heated through.
