Ingredients

12 oz linguine pasta

1 large bunch broccoli

3 tbsp capers

16 fl oz vegetable broth

1 x (14 oz) pkg firm tofu

3 cloves garlic

1/2 small bunch Italian parsley

2 lemons

1 tbsp all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp salt

Method

Press the tofu to remove excess water by cutting it into wide planks, salting it, and placing it between towels with a weight on top for 15 minutes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10-11 minutes. Drain and set aside.

While the pasta cooks, wash and cut the broccoli into florets. Set aside.

Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp flour and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Zest and juice 1 lemon into the skillet. Add the vegetable broth, capers, and salt. Bring to a simmer and let the sauce thicken slightly, about 3 minutes.

Add the broccoli florets to the sauce and cook until they are bright green and tender, about 4 minutes.

Chop the parsley leaves finely and set aside.

Add the cooked linguine and parsley to the skillet with the broccoli and sauce. Toss to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes.

Serve the pasta with the seared tofu on top. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges for squeezing over the dish.
