Can we all agree that pasta is life? This Tofu Alfredo with tofu ”bancon” bits and a creamy tofu alfredo sauce is packed with protein and the perfect midweek diner that you can do under 30 minute!
For this recipe I used two types of tofu, silken tofu for the creamy sauce and firm tofu for the “bacon bits”. The bacon flavour of this tofu is achieved by using liquid smoke which is definitely a staple on any plant based kitchen as this give that smoky “meaty” flavour to all sorts of recipes!
My favourite part of this tecipe is that is just more than just carbs! The combo of the sauce and the “bacon” bits is packed with plant protein.
If you have veggie salt at hand I would 100% recommend swapping that for the salt as it gives it a more cheesy flavor when combined with the nutritional yeast!
