Ok...let me begin by saying that I completely stumbled upon this delicious meal by accident. I had leftover pasta and tofu in my fridge and absolutely HATE throwing out perfectly good food. Initially, my plan was to eat them separately, but then decided to combine the two. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT THE COMBINATION TASTES LIKE CARBONARA?!??? Certainly not me. On to the food..
Ingredients
1 pack of Organic Edamame Spaghetti
1/2 package of firm or extra firm tofu
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tomato, cubed
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
Chili powder
Chili flakes or a Chili Pepper
Directions:
Cook the Edamame Pasta according to instructions on the box. Generally, bring water to a boil and add the pasta. Depending on the brand, you only cook it for 4 minutes. Strain the water out and let the pasta sit while you make the rest of the dish.
Remove the Tofu from the package and put it on a plate with a paper towel wrapped around it. Put another plate on top followed by something heavy like a tea kettle or milk carton. Let that contraption sit for about 15-20 minutes to drain the water from the tofu.
Then cut half of the block into 1/2 inch cubes. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder. A little more of a pinch of each. You want to make sure the tofu cubes are eavenly coated. In a pan, heat olive oil and add the chopped tomato and garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes. Add the tofu and let it all simmer for about 5 minutes. Once that is done, add the chili flakes/pepper as well as the pasta. Toss and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes. DONE.
