[Guest guest]

Gingery Tofu & Pasta

Serves 4-6

 

1 pound firm tofu (drained and cut into small cubes)

 

marinade:

 

4-5 cloves garlic chopped fine

1 4-inch piece of ginger, peeled and grated

1/2 cup sweet tasting brown rice miso mixed with 1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons olive or sesame oil

3-4 cups fresh spinach (or other leafy greens), chopped

1 pound of your favorite pasta, cooked and cooled

1 tablespoon south river miso tamari

1 teaspoon Red Pepper Paste or pinch of black pepper

 

Blend all marinade ingredients and pour over tofu.

 

Cook pasta, and rinse in cool water. Clean spinach well, as it tends to be very

sandy. Heat oil in large pan. Add tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes on medium flame.

Add spinach and pasta, then tamari and pepper paste. Serve immediately.
