Recipe – 4 servings:

6 tbsp olive oil (maybe a little more, if needed)
2 onions
1 clove of garlic

300g tofu
– 4 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 tsp curry powder– 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or white wine vinegar/ Condimento bianco)

300g spinach
300g pasta
700ml water
2 ½ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp pepper
½ lemon, juice
150g vegan sour cream / vegan cream cheese (or plant-based yogurt)
150g plant-based yogurt

Cut the tofu into small cubes. Put them in a bowl with the soy sauce, curry powder, and rice wine vinegar, and mix everything.

Peel the onion and also cut it into cubes.

In a large pot heat the olive oil. Let the onions sauté, then add the tofu pieces. Let everything roast until golden brown, which takes approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Then set the mixture aside in a bowl.

Cut the spinach into fine stripes. Peel the garlic – and chop it very finely or press it through a press. Eventually, add some olive oil to the pan to roast the spinach with the garlic – for about 3 minutes.

Now add the pasta and water, salt, and pepper.

Let everything cook for as long as given on the pasta package. Stir every now and then.

After the pasta is cooked, add vegan cream, yogurt, and lemon juice. Mix well. And taste test if a little bit of salt or pepper is needed.
