Method

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions.
2. Crumble the firm tofu with your hands into small pieces and toss them with soy sauce in a bowl.
3. Heat half of the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the tofu crumbles until golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
4. In a blender, combine the raw spinach, nutritional yeast, a clove of garlic, and the remaining olive oil to create a vibrant green sauce.
5. Drain the pasta, reserving a small cup of the cooking water.
6. Toss the pasta with the green sauce in the pot, adding a splash of cooking water to reach a creamy consistency.
7. Serve immediately, topping each plate with the crispy tofu crumbles and a crack of black pepper.

Tips

• Using nutritional yeast gives the sauce a cheesy, savory depth without using dairy.
• For extra crunch, ensure the tofu is well-pressed before crumbling to remove excess moisture.
