Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Halve, peel and mince the shallot. Pat the tofu dry with paper towel; cut into ½ inch cubes. Juice the lemon.
Prepare & bake the tofu
In a large bowl, combine the tofu, a generous drizzle of oil, the breadcrumbs, 3 tbsp of the nutritional yeast (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Arrange on a lined sheet pan and bake, 18 to 20 min., until golden brown and crispy.
Boil the pasta
Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 8 to 10 min., until al dente. Reserving 1 ½ cups cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the sauce
In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the shallot and tomatoes. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until dark red. Add the cashew butter, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions), the remaining nutritional yeast and salt. Whisk, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to thicken.
Combine the pasta & serve
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta, reserved cooking water and spinach. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until the spinach has wilted. Add 1 tbsp lemon juice (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Divide the pasta between your bowls. Top with the tofu. Bon appétit!
