PREPARATION

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain pasta according to package directions until al dente.
2
While the pasta cooks, place the bacon slices in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until they are perfectly crispy.
3
Remove the bacon from the pan, let it drain on a paper towel, and then chop it into small bits.
4
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets with a splash of water, cover, and steam for 3 to 4 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp.
5
In a high-speed blender, combine the silken tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper until the sauce is completely smooth.
6
Drain the pasta, reserving a small amount of the cooking water.
7
Return the pasta to the pot over low heat, pour in the tofu sauce and broccoli, and toss gently to coat, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to reach a creamy consistency.
8
Top the pasta with the chopped crispy bacon and serve immediately.
