Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Boil plenty of water in a pot and optionally add salt. Add the pasta and cook it for 8 minutes or to the point that you like it. Drain the water and save half a cup of the cooking water. Add a few drops of olive oil to the pasta so it doesn't stick and set aside.

Wash all the vegetables. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Finely chop the pepper. Grate the cheese. Cut the tofu into sheets of 1/2cm thick and then into sticks of the same thickness. Be careful not to break it.

Place the tofu in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the burger seasoning and soy sauce. Mix it well and place it on a baking tray. Bake it in the oven for approx. 5 minutes until they are completely browned. Take them out of the oven and set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the pepper, onion and garlic for 3 minutes until they brown. Add the soy cream and bring it to a boil and let it cook for 1 minute. Season to taste. Take the pan off the heat and take half of the sauce apart. Blend this with a hand blender to a smooth cream.

Add the pasta, both sauces (the blended and original one) and half of the grated cheese to a pan. Add half a cup of the cooking water and mix everything together over medium heat until the sauce thickens. Add the tofu and mix it together. Serve the pasta on a pasta plate and sprinkle it with the remaining cheese.
