RECIPE: Vegetable Pasta Toss

[Guest guest]

Ingredients:

1 clove garlic

1 1/2 cups fresh vegetable of choice

3 oz. firm tofu

4 oz. tomato sauce, low sodium

1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning

1 tsp. oregano

1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 tbsp. olive oil

 

Directions:

Cook your pasta of choice such as elbow macaroni or penne, according to

recipe, omit salt. Mince garlic, drain and chop tofu and vegetable into

bite-sized pieces. Heat oil in a nonstick saucepan on medium-low heat and sauté

garlic until just golden, about 2-3 minutes. Raise heat to medium, add tofu and

vegetable and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tofu is slightly golden in color.

Stir in tomato sauce and spices, cover and cook until vegetables are tender, an

additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cooked pasta to sauce, heat

through 1-2 minutes and serve.
