Don't even think about suggesting that tofu is vile and tasteless... despite all the bad press, it's actually a versatile and delicious source of protein. This recipe combines the soy king with tomatoes and pasta to create a quick and easy vegetarian (and vegan) meal.
Easy Tofu and Tomato Pasta (serves 4)
What you need:
2-3 cloves garlic
1 large onion
2 Tbsp oil
1 green pepper
300-500g tofu
¼ cup red or white wine
425g tomato puree
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp basil
1 tsp marjoram
dash hot chilli sauce
salt & pepper
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
400-500g spaghetti or fettucine
What to do:
Crush and chop garlic, and finely chop onion. Saute in oil. When onion is soft, add green pepper and cook a few minutes longer. Crumble tofu into 5mm pieces and add to mixture. Cook for 5 minutes. Add wine, tomato puree and seasonings, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Cook pasta and mix with oil. Top with sauce and parsley.
Makes me hungry just thinking about it...
