Notes

The sauce may curdle if added to a very hot pan—if you’re reheating or mixing in the pan, do it over low heat to keep the texture creamy.

🫙 Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
❄️ Sauce can be frozen, but cook pasta fresh for best texture.

Little pasta bowl full of surprises! The smoked tofu went so well and it's so creamy. Next time I will add more courgette and maybe some peas.
