Recipe! (Jen's Creamy Basil & Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta)

This comes from La Dolce Vegan (Sarah Kramer)...  a GREAT cookbook full of quick, simple, and animal-free recipes.  How much better could it get?

...A wonderful sauce recipe that can be whipped up in a flash while you're waiting for your pasta to cook. 

Dry pasta, enough for 2 people
7-8 sun dried tomatoes
1 package silken tofu
2-3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh basil, tightly packed
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces

In a large pot of salted water, boil the pasta.  While the pasta is cooking, in a blender or food processor, blend the sun-dried tomatoes, tofu, garlic, basil, and salt until smooth.  Set aside.  When pasta is almost done, add the broccoli to the pasta water and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.  Drain noodles and broccoli and return cooked to the pot.   Add the basil sauce and toss together well.  Serve immediately.  Makes 2 large or 4 small servings.

Enjoy!
