This weeks "Saturday kitchen recipe" is a smoked tofu vegetarian pasta recipe and it tasted wonderful.
Vegetarian pasta is not just about vegetables as you can use tofu that will give this dish a fabulous taste. I used "smoked tofu" in this dish that combines very well with pasta.
Tofu is also very good for you and has many health benefits.
This recipe is healthy, delicious and does not take long to cook.

Add the mushrooms, then the tomatoes and keep cooking and stiring.

Add a few drops a lemon juice (just a hint of lemon juice, too much will make it taste too much of lemons).
Add salt and pepper, go easy on the salt because you will add cheese which is salty.

Dear Jeena,
I am professor R.M.Kaoshik from Mumbai India.I like your way of presentation.I visit regularly your site.Thanks a lot for your thinking and I keep on waiting for your saturday Kitchen.
I'm really going to have to start eating tofu because the recipes you post using tofu always sound amazing.
Can't wait to see the fudge recipe!
How innovative to use tofu for pasta ...I'm sure every Chinese and Italian would agree with me. I love smoked tofu and u just showed me another wonderful to have it. Thanks for sharing.
very nice dish, Jeena. Always love your recipes, great looking!
I'm very intrigued to try this pasta with tofu, no doubt a filling dish and good for my upcoming fast for lent.
Whoa Jeena,
You are going in jet speed. I'm unable to keep up with you. BTW, I've never tried smoked tofu before. But it sure looks so tempting. The pasta looks so healthy and delicious too.
I tried this dish and it was wonderful! My husband and 2 best friends loved it. I could not find smoked tofu so I marinated a regular block of ex-firm tofu in liquid smoke over night and it added just the right smoke flavor. liquid smoke can be found in the condiment aisle near BBQ sauce. I also used wheat pasta instead and a gourmet mix of mushrooms(portabello,shitake,oyster) I also added white wine,extra crused garlic and extra olive oil. It was amazing! This is going in my fav non-meat recipe file! Thanks a lot for this wonderful recipe!
