Instructions

  1. Prepare the spaghetti according to the instructions on the box. Once cooked, drizzle with a little olive oil so they won’t be sticky and set aside.
  2. In the meantime, place the olive oil in a large sauce pan over high heat. Add the onions and fry until golden brown. Add in the garlic and fry another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Use your hands to break the tofu apart into small crumbles and add to the pan. Use a large spoon to combine and fry everything for 2 minutes.
  4. Add in the mushrooms, walnuts, carrot and dried oregano and combine. Let cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown, then mix in the tomato paste.
  5. Slowly add in the red wine and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid has evaporated, then add in the passata, salt, pepper and paprika powder and combine. Let the mixture cook for another 5 minutes, then add in the roasted pine nuts and basil.
  6. Lastly, add in the spaghetti and mix well. Serve with vegan parmesan and more fresh basil.
