Instructions

1
In a large pot of salted water, cook the wide noodles according to the package instructions (al dente). Before draining, reserve about 50 ml of the cooking water.
2
While the pasta is cooking, clean the leek and cut it into thin rings. Cut the smoked tofu into small cubes (about 1 cm).
3
Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the tofu cubes over medium heat until crispy and golden brown (about 5 minutes). Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside on a plate.
4
Add the sliced leek to the same pan and cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, until completely softened. If it starts to stick, add a spoonful of water.
5
Pour in the cream and vegetable stock. Stir in the nutritional yeast, garlic powder and pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently and thicken (2–3 minutes).
6
Add the cooked pasta, crispy tofu and lemon juice to the pan with the creamy leek. Mix everything together well. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water. Serve immediately.
