🛒 Ingredients
- firm tofu
- potatoes
👩🍳 How to Make It
- Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut into cubes; dice the potatoes into bite‑size pieces.
- Sauté the tofu cubes in olive oil until golden, then set aside; in the same pan, cook the potatoes until tender.
- Add minced garlic, chopped sun‑dried tomatoes, and a splash of plant‑based milk; stir in spinach and let wilt.
- Return the tofu to the pan, season with Italian herbs, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper, and simmer until the sauce is creamy.
- Divide into containers for the week and enjoy a high‑protein, plant‑based dinner any night.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Plate the creamy tofu over a fluffy mound of quinoa or brown rice, then drizzle extra sauce and sprinkle toasted pine nuts for crunch.
- Serve alongside a crisp arugula‑lemon salad and a slice of crusty whole‑grain bread to scoop up every last drop.
- Pack individual containers for the week and pair with a chilled glass of sparkling water infused with rosemary and citrus.
💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes (or use a heavy skillet) to achieve a firmer bite that holds up beautifully in the sauce.
- Swap the plant‑based milk for a splash of cashew cream for an ultra‑rich, nutty finish.
- Add sliced mushrooms or roasted red peppers for extra earthiness, or stir in a pinch of red‑pepper flakes if you like a subtle heat.
- For a seasonal twist, replace regular potatoes with sweet potatoes or add a handful of frozen peas in the last minute of cooking.
