A delightful and creamy sauce made with tofu and fresh basil, perfect for topping your favorite pasta or as a dip.
Prepare the tofu by draining and patting it dry.
Draining the tofu ensures the sauce isn't too watery.
Add the tofu, water, olive oil, tamari, nutritional yeast, basil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic to a blender.
Layer the ingredients in the blender with liquids at the bottom for easier blending.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Blend in intervals to avoid overheating the blender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Add a pinch of salt or more lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Serve over pasta or as a dip for vegetables.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil for a beautiful presentation.
