Description
Cooked in a rich, flavourful tomato sauce, this vegetarian spaghetti bolognese with crumbled tofu makes a perfect budget-friendly dinner.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Press tofu between sheets of paper towel or a clean tea towel to remove excess moisture. Crumble tofu in a medium bowl until it achieves a mince-like consistency.
Step 2 of 4
Heat oil in a large frying pan over low heat. Add onion, garlic, paprika and 2 tbs yeast and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in soy and glaze, then add tofu and stir well to coat. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until tofu is lightly browned.
Step 3 of 4
Add cherry tomatoes and canned tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes or until cherry tomatoes have collapsed slightly and sauce has thickened.
Step 4 of 4
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 minutes or until tender. Drain pasta and transfer to pan, stirring to combine. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Serve pasta with basil and remaining yeast.
