Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14 ounces) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 pound pasta (spaghetti or linguine)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pan or pot, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove tofu from pan and set aside.
  2. Add garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add pasta, vegetable broth, white wine (if using), lemon juice, and capers to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until pasta is cooked and liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  4. Return tofu to the pan. Stir in parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon slices if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use mushroom broth instead of vegetable broth.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
