This is healthy and comforting cooking at its very best.

Picture this: creamy silken tofu, sweet cherry tomatoes, and smoky roasted red peppers coming together in a sauce that's so good, you'll want to slurp it up. Tossed with chewy bucatini pasta, it's a match made in pasta heaven. My secret to a pasta recipe is to keep the ingredients simple and good quality pasta goes a long way. I think bucatini is such a fun shape for a sauce like this one. This is a bowl of pure comfort so enjoy our Silken Tofu Cherry Tomato Sauce with Roast Red Peppers and Bucatini.
