Food Super Easy Recipe for VEGAN (Tofu)SPAGHETTI!

[LouisLady]

I pulled together this dish & it was super easy & super tasty.

What you'll need:
1 package of FIRM tofu
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 jar of pasta of your choice (I chose Ragu's Garlic mushroom)
1 box of wheat pasta (or your choice..reg is fine too)
Some olive oil




1.Discard the water from the Tofu package. Cut tofu into small cubes. ( Or size of your choice) I cut mine into small pieces as small as DICES.

2.Heat some olive oil in pot.

3.Toss in the tofu.

4.Add 1 whole package of TACO seasoning. Stir evenly for a 2 or 3 minutes so that all that yummy seasoning will soak in and cook!

5.Pour in jar of pasta sauce. Mix well. Cover on medium heat for a few minutes and serve over cooked pasta!

I ate mine with Louisiana HOT SAUCE and it was awesome.


You can add other things in too if you wish. This was my quick idea and I was really satisfied!

I don't feel as heavy after eating this. I normally cook spaghetti with ground beef and always feels so guilty afterwards. This tofu tasted just as good as meat to me! Now I found a better solution!


Happy Cooking!

That looks like a good simple recipe. Just make sure your pasta is egg and dairy free if it's to be vegan. But for a vegetarian like me, it sounds good.

^^ Sure is very yummy!
(I didnt realize the pasta had to be egg & dairy free! lol) Sorry for my mistake! I'm new to this vegan thing

I've never had tofu, does it have a weird taste or texture?

I'm new to the whole vegetarian thing.

for those of you that cook with tofu...do you press it first to get rid of the excess water?

I don't. I just take it out of the container (of course) but don't do anything special after that. I always cook with firm tofu though, so it doesn't have a lot of water in it at all.

I love tofu, thanks for the recipe!

You are welcome!

I always buy firm tofu too. I prefer it over the soft ones. Dont like it breaking!
