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 <strong>soaks up tons of flavor<\/strong> along the way. A bit like risotto, only much faster and more relaxed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 <strong>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<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-group-heart\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"why-youll-love-this-recipe\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You'll Love This Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-circle-number-list\">\n<li><strong>One-pot dish<\/strong> \u2013 Just one pan, less washing up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ready in 25 minutes<\/strong> \u2013 Perfect for busy weeknights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creamy without cream<\/strong> \u2013 Silken tofu gives it that silky texture while adding protein.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oil-free &amp; wholesome<\/strong> \u2013 True to the Veggie Jam style, with no compromise on flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2301.jpg\" alt=\"oil-free vegan orzo pasta with tomatoes and fresh basil\" class=\"wp-image-3753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2301.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2301-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2301-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2301-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2301-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2301-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2301-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2301-180x270.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ingredient-notes\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\" >Ingredient Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-feast-list\">\n<li><strong>Orzo (risoni)<\/strong> \u2013 The star of the dish. I used the standard \"refined\" orzo, but you can also use a whole-grain type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cherry tomatoes<\/strong> \u2013 They add natural sweetness and freshness. You can also chop up ripe vine or Roma tomatoes. Try them first, they should be quite aromatic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sun-dried tomatoes<\/strong> \u2013 For that strong, concentrated tomato flavor. I use dry sun-dried tomatoes that aren't packed in oil, but you can also use oil-packed ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Silken tofu<\/strong> \u2013 The secret to the creaminess. Lighter and higher in protein than nut-based cream sauces. Feel free to stir in a spoon of cashew butter at the end for more richness, though.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nutritional yeast<\/strong> \u2013 For that cheesy umami touch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balsamic vinegar<\/strong> \u2013 Rounds out the tomato sauce and adds a gentle acidity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic &amp; onion<\/strong> \u2013 The aromatic base \u2013 please don't leave them out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baby spinach (optional)<\/strong> \u2013 For an extra serving of greens and nutrients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dried basil &amp; oregano<\/strong> \u2013 Classic Italian and simply delicious.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See recipe card for quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"step-by-step-instructions\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\" >Step-By-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2080.jpg\" alt=\"Saut\u00e9ing chopped onion and garlic with sun-dried and cherry tomatoes in a pan\" class=\"wp-image-3747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2080.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2080-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2080-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2080-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2080-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2080-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2080-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/tomato-orzo-vegan-2080-180x270.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-circle-number-list\">\n<li><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Finely chop the onion and garlic and sweat them in a large, deep pan with a little water for about 4 minutes until translucent.

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> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-en-1\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is the recipe gluten-free?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">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> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-en-2\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I replace the silken tofu?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">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<h2 id=\"more-vegan-noodle-dishes\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\" >More Vegan Noodle Dishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking for other pasta recipes?
