Pasta with a creamy sauce and schnitzel

Pasta dishes are always fun to make, my sister said that this one reminded her of seafood. A bit like spaghetti in clam sauce. And as soon as she said it, I noticed it too. It’s delicious and great with a schnitzel.

Cooking time: 20 mins| 4 servings

Ingredients:

Creamy sauce:

  • 250 g silken tofu
  • 200 ml plant-based single cream
  • 100 ml sunflower seeds
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • A pinch of salt
  • A pinch of pepper
  • 100 ml pasta water

Instructions:

  1. If you make your own schnitzels, prepare them now. But don’t fry just yet.
  2. In a food processor, mix together all ingredients for the sauce until creamy. You want the seeds to be fairly crushed.
  3. Prepare the pasta water.
  4. Finely chop the shallot and fry in oil until soft. Add the sauce along with some butter and vegan parmesan, simmer on low heat.
  5. Boil the pasta for about 5-6 mins until it’s almost ready, just before it’s al dente. It will keep cooking it in the sauce.
  6. Fry the schnitzels with oil until golden brown.
  7. Add the pasta to the sauce and some pasta water. Salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until the pasta is al dente.
  8. Slice the schnitzels and serve with the creamy pasta.
