Creamy Cheesy Marbled Pesto Pasta

This is next level pesto pasta! We’ve blended a classic fresh basil pesto into a creamy silken tofu sauce, so it’s rich, indulgent and still packed with protein. It’s super simple and needs just a few minutes of blending and stirring, then you’ve got a bowl of pasta that feels way fancier than the effort it takes. Perfect for those nights you want something comforting but still fresh, quick and so satisfying. P.s this is the last in our pasta series for a while, lots more fresh ideas coming up!

I've always tried adding silken tofu to my pesto recipes, but haven't yet been able to do it without watering down the taste of the pesto. This recipe came almost perfecty close to leaving the strength of the pesto unchanged whilst adding a rich creaminess! I think I personally will add more like half a cup of pine nuts and a few extra cloves of garlic next time, but I'll definitely make it again - so good even my non-vegan mum admitted the sauce was delicious!
