Roasted Tomato Pasta with "Pizza" Tofu
Sarah currently had a glut of huge, super sweet heirloom tomatoes from their vegetable garden, so she created this recipe to use them up. It is delicious served with pasta and cubes of tofu that have been seared in the pan and coated in pizza seasoning.
Ingredients
- 4-5 med/large ripe tomatoes chopped into quarters
- 1 med red onion chopped into quarters
- 3-4 large garlic cloves skin on
- 1 med carrot chopped into chunks
- ½ med/large courgette (zucchini) chopped into chunks
- 1 red capsicum (bell pepper) chopped into chunks
- handful of fresh basil chopped
- 500 grams firm tofu cubed
- 1 tbsp pizza seasoning if you don't have any, use a mixture of e.g. smoked paprika, sumac, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic and onion powder
- fresh cooed wholemeal pasta
- fresh cracked black pepper to serve
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180 ℃ (fan forced) - (360℉).
- Place all chopped veggies on a baking paper lined tray and place in the oven for 30-45 minutes.

- Meanwhile place a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat and add the cubed tofu and pizza seasoning. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until the tofu is nicely seared.
