For creamy sauce

• 1 pack Clearspring Tofu
• 50g unsalted cashew nuts – soaked overnight and drained

Method

1. Whizz all the ingredients thoroughly, either in the food processor or with a stick blender, to make a creamy sauce.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Sprinkle with chilli or nori flakes to taste.

If using as a pasta sauce, cook pasta (with the broccoli florets for the last 2 mins of cooking time) - add a handful of garden peas or sweetcorn at the very end. To save on washing up cook the vegetables in the same pan as the pastas.
