Welcome to Episode 3 of Under 30 minute dinners (with hidden protein and a hidden veggie, can it get much better?!) I love experimenting with different flavors and textures and this was my first time using silken tofu- it did not disappoint!! It added a creaminess to this pasta sauce and the spinach brightened the dish (and you can’t even taste it). This is easily gluten free if desired by using a GF pasta!
