Awesome recipe !!
Surprisingly, tofu taste really good and creamy in Italian pasta and sauce recipe. It soaks in the sauce just as satisfyingly as pasta does.
That’s a lot of garlic and it is also burned. I use 3-4 garlic cloves for 1 pound of pasta.
I tried this. I actually burned my garlic, so it changed the whole taste😅 Overall it was good though – a simple recipe! I'll try not to burn the garlic next time🤭
Going to give this try. I just have so much tofu on hand 😅
Thank you so much for the idea!
Looks delicious
