Tofu w/Spinach Fettucine


I created this lil dish last week. It was pretty easy and fulfilling. The inspiration was my fridge and cupboard. I realized I had some tofu that I needed to cook and needed some protein since I'm no longer eating a lot of red meat these days. I had a box of spinach fettucine but you could use other pasta I am sure. I had a lot of vegetables in my fridge but wanted more of an Asian feel to the dish so I used some asian ingredients. Hope you enjoy.




Ingredients:
1/5 of Firm Tofu
1 onion
1 or 2 garlic cloves
1 tsp of dried cilantro
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of low sodium soy sauce
1 tbls of rice wine vinegar
1 tsp of curry powder
1 tsp of sesame seeds
a handfull of spinach fettucine or other pasta
1 plum tomato
1-2 carrots
1 dash of crushed red pepper
other vegetables (optional)

Method:

Saute cloves, garlic, and vegetables in pan with one tbl of olive oil under all of them carmalize. Add tofu and cook til tender. Add seasonings (garlic, dried cilantro, curry) and rice vinegar, low sodium soy sauce. Cook the pasta til you recieve desired consistency. Add fettucine/pasta to pan and arrange sesame seeds over the entire mixture.

Serves 1-3 depending on how much pasta/tofu you use.

Enjoy!
