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!
