Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tbsp kosher salt, then cook the spaghetti until al dente — tender with a slight resistance at the center — according to package directions, usually 9–11 minutes. Before draining, scoop out 1 cup of pasta cooking water and set it aside. Drain the pasta in a colander.

While the pasta cooks, combine the silken tofu, nutritional yeast, olive oil, white miso paste, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 60 seconds. Set aside.
