Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta of choice (spaghetti, penne, etc.)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roast the Tomatoes: On a baking sheet, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
  3. Prepare the Tofu: While the tomatoes are roasting, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic, dried basil, and oregano, and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and reserve some pasta water.
  5. Combine: In the skillet with the tofu, add the roasted tomatoes and cooked pasta. Toss everything together, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy your Vegan Roasted Tomato and Tofu Pasta!
