Instructions

  1. 1In 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. 2While the pasta is cooking, clean the leek and cut it into thin rings. Cut the smoked tofu into small cubes (about 1 cm).
  3. 3Heat 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. 4Add 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. 5Pour 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. 6Add 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.
