Super Easy Tofu Bolognese
Ingredients
- 1-14oz pack extra firm tofu
- tomato sauce (about 4 cups)
Marinade
- 1.5 tbsp gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1.5 tsp chili powder
- 1.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 1.5 tsp chipotle powder
- 0.75 tsp garlic powder
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil (optional)
Preparation
Pat dry and crumble the 1-14oz pack of extra firm tofu with hands. Set aside.
Mix together the marinade ingredients.
Rub the marinade evenly over the tofu crumbles.
Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 375°F. Toss after about 15 minutes and continue cooking until browned but not burnt.
Mix with homemade or store-bought tomato sauce and simmer for about 15 minutes until slightly thickened. Use desired amount of tomato sauce; approximately 4 cups is suggested.
Optionally, cook pasta in the same pot after sauce has simmered a few minutes, cover and simmer until pasta is done, or cook pasta separately and serve with the bolognese.
