Beetroot Pasta With Tofu Cream Cheese
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 200°C fan / 425°F and line a roasting tray with baking paper.

- 5Scoop out the tofu cream cheese into a bowl.
- 6Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente.
- 7Add roasted beetroot to the blender along with the squeezed garlic cloves, most of the dill, oat milk, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and transfer to a saucepan to heat through on low-medium heat.
