The main ingredient in this recipe is Tofu, which is a great source of protein and contains all nine essential amino acids. Some people don’t like tofu or don’t really know what to do with it, this recipe is a great way to use it or try it if you’ve never have. Tofu is so versatile, it can be used for so many things and this is just an example, I love to use it to make sauces like this one.
The other main ingredient is sun-dried tomatoes, which I love using with pasta, either chopped up or mixed in the sauce. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
