NOMU-SPICED PUMPKIN
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the pumpkin on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
AL DENTE PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserving the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
TOASTED PISTACHIOS
Place the pistachios in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
Onion, GARLIC & SAGE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the garlic, and the sage. Place ⅓ of the roasted pumpkin, the sage and sautéed onion mix into a blender with the macadamia yoghurt, the yeast and seasoning. Blend until smooth, loosening with the reserved pasta water until desired consistency. Remove the remaining mixture from the pan and set a side.
SCRAMBLED TOFU
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the tofu, breaking it up with your spatula as it starts to brown, 4-5 minutes. Season and remove from the pan.
COAT IN DELICIOUSNESS
When the tofu is finished, add the cooked Spaghetti and pumpkin purée to the pan and return the pan to low heat. Mix to coat the spaghetti, loosening with the remaining pasta water until saucy.
