This creamy vegan tomato orzo<\/strong> has the potential to become your new favorite weeknight dinner: an uncomplicated one-pan orzo recipe, on the table in about 25 minutes, and so creamy that with the first spoonful you can hardly believe there's neither cream nor oil involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recipes with orzo pasta \u2014 also known as risoni \u2014 seem to be everywhere on social media right now. So of course I had to give them a go! In this vegan tomato orzo recipe, the little rice-shaped pasta cooks right in the tomato broth and soaks up tons of flavor<\/strong> along the way. A bit like risotto, only much faster and more relaxed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The creaminess comes from a little trick: silken tofu, finely blended with nutritional yeast, a splash of balsamic and soaked sun-dried tomatoes. The result is velvety and full of umami <\/strong>\u2014 exactly the kind of creamy tomato pasta you'll want to make again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n All the ingredients for this orzo pasta recipe are deliberately kept simple \u2013 you'll find them in any well-stocked supermarket, and you might already have everything at home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See recipe card for quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour \u00bc cup \/ 60 ml hot water over three sun-dried tomato halves (about 12 g) and set aside. (If you're using oil-packed tomatoes, you can skip this step.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the orzo soaks up too much liquid while cooking, simply add a splash of broth or water.<\/strong> The dish should still be slightly saucy when served \u2013 the tomato pasta firms up quickly as it sits.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The tomato orzo is a great base recipe that you can adapt however you like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, of course. You also don\u2019t need to soak them for the silken tofu cream. When blending, you should still add \u00bc cup \/ 50-60 ml of water.<\/p> <\/div> Orzo is traditionally made from durum wheat semolina. However, you can also find gluten-free orzo-style pasta online, made for example from rice and corn. Just use the gluten-free type to make the recipe gluten-free.<\/p> <\/div> Silken tofu gives the dish its wonderful light creaminess. If you\u2019d rather not use tofu and make it soy-free you can use about 150 ml \/ 1 cup + 2 tablespoon of plant-based drink and 1\u20132 tablespoon of cashew butter instead.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Looking for other pasta recipes?
