- Mix all the ingredients , gently breaking down the tomatoes , except the tofu .Heat the mixture gently until it thickens naturally.
- Cool down slightly .
- If it is not the thickness that you prefer you can add a packet of a mushroom cup a soup.
- Add the tofu , stir in gently and set aside to marinate
- Cook your pasta of choice, I like tagliatelle with this .
- Halfway through cooking pasta gently heat the mixture of sauce in a separate pot to the pasta, adding the tofu to it, simmer on a low heat, until the pasta in its own pot, has finished cooking, about 10 minutes or so, depending on what pasta you use and or how you like your pasta.
- When the pasta is cooked , drain it , add a little extra oil and a pinch of nutmeg to it .
- Serve the tofu/mushroom mixture over your pasta.
- Enjoy
