Creamy Pasta with Mushrooms & Tofu

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve a cup of pasta cooking water & drain the pasta when al dente.

Step 2

Meanwhile, wash & thinly slice the mushrooms.

Step 3

Pat the tofu dry with a paper towel, then cut into thin strips (about 1/4-inch thick).

Step 4

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu strips. Season with salt, pepper & any additional seasonings you love! Cook for 8-10 min, stirring often, until golden-brown. Transfer to a plate & set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, heat another drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms. Season with salt, pepper & any additional seasonings you love! Cook for 5-6 min, until softened & browned.

Step 6

Grate in the garlic & continue cooking for 1-2 min.

Step 7

Add the tofu back into the pan with the crème fraîche & grated parmesan. Mix everything well, until the sauce is creamy.

Step 8

Add the drained pasta to the pan. Mix again & add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce looks dry.

Step 9

Serve the pasta with extra grated parmesan & fresh parsley, if you have any. Enjoy!
