Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb pasta
  • 3-4 cups small diced broccoli
  • 1 (14 oz) package extra firm tofu
  • 1 1/2 tbsp + 2 tsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 tbsp Tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 3/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs, I like herbs de Provence
  • 1 tsp salt, or more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instruction

  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.  Add your pasta, stir and cook for about 5 minutes.  Add in your broccoli and cook until pasta is finished cooking, 5-7 more minutes.  Drain and put back into the pot.
  • Prepare the tofu while the pasta is cooking.  Pat the tofu try and press if desired.  I like to buy the pre-pressed tofu because it cuts down on prep time.  Cut tofu into bite size pieces. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add 2 teaspoons olive oil, cubed tofu, tamari and garlic powder.  Stir and let cook until tofu has browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the tofu to the pasta and broccoli along with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, nutritional yeast, granulated garlic, dried herbs, salt and pepper.  Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.  Enjoy!
