  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!
