Choose your portion size.
MARINATION
In a bowl, coat the tofu slabs in the soy sauce, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 15-20 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
TOASTY SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SAUCE, SAUCE & MORE SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the garlic and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the tomato passata. Mix through the pasta seasoning, ½ the parsley, and 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Reduce the heat and simmer until reduced, 8-10 minutes (stirring occasionally). In the final minute add a sweetener (to taste), the pasta, and seasoning. Remove from the heat. Loosen with the reserved pasta water if too thick.
CASHEW CREAM CHEESE
In a small bowl, season the cashew cream cheese and set aside.
CRUMBED
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour (seasoned lightly) with 60ml [120ml]|#7DA0D7 of water until smooth. Prepare another dish with the herb crumb. Dip the tofu into the wet flour mixture and then into the crumb. Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed tofu until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel and season.
