INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package angel hair pasta
  • 1/4 cup corn, sunflower, or grape seed oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
  • 2 cups cubed (1”) Extra Firm Tofu
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
  • 1 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • ½ cup chopped fresh basil

DIRECTIONS: angel hair pasta

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add 1 teaspoon salt. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Drain pasta in a colander and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat ¼ cup oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic and scallions, stirring constantly, until tender, about 1 minute (do not let garlic burn).   Add the tofu, one teaspoon of salt, smoked paprika, cayenne and 2 tablespoons of white wine; cook for 5 – 7 minutes, until tofu begins to brown.  Remove tofu from the skillet, set aside.
  3. Stir remaining wine, tomatoes, parsley, and basil into the skillet.  Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half, 8 to 12 minutes. Add the pasta to the sauce mixture, toss well, until combined, and continue cooking for 2 – 3 minutes, until mixture is hot.  Add the Tofu last, and mixture gently.  Sprinkle pasta with basil and serve immediately.

Bon Appétit!
