Smoked tofu cabonara

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 150g (5oz) pasta
• 200g (7oz) firm smoked tofu
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 handfuls finely grated parmesan
• 1/2 bunch chives, chopped

Process:

1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the packet directions.
2. Heat a large frying pan over a medium high heat with a few tablespoons peanut oil. Cut tofu into batons no larger than your pasta and pat dry with paper towel. Fry tofu until golden on all sides then transfer to a large warm bowl. Toss through egg yolks and cheese.
3. When the pasta is ready, scoop out a little cooking water into a mug then drain the pasta. Toss hot pasta through the tofu mixture, adding a little of the reserved cooking water if your pasta looks too dry. Toss through chives and serve hot with extra parmesan passed separately.
