Ingredients
-
Ronzoni, Whole Wheat Penne Rigate, 8 oz, cooked
Tofu, extra firm, .5 block
BaconSalt, 2 tsp
Onions, raw, .25 cup, chopped
Garlic, 1 clove
Olive Oil, 2 tbsp
Parmesan Cheese, grated, 6 tbsp
Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt, Plain, 3 oz
Directions
Prepare pasta if needed, according to package instructions.
Heat a large skillet on medium to medium high. When skillet is hot, add one Tablespoon of olive oil. Reserve 1 Tbsp of oil for later.
When oil is heated, add chopped onion, garlic and crumbled tofu. Sprinkle 2 tsp of BaconSalt over ingredients and stir-fry for 7-10 minutes, or until onion is clear and tofu is browned. Taste a bit of tofu to make sure it is bacon-y enough. Adjust BaconSalt to taste.
Add cooked pasta, 1 Tbsp of olive oil, and Greek yogurt. Stir fry for 5 minutes, or until pasta is heated through. If a creamier sauce is desired, add additional yogurt.
Top with parmesan cheese and serve.
