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

1
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.
2
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.
3
While the pasta cooks, wash and cut the broccoli into florets. Set aside.
4
Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp flour and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
5
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.
6
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
7
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.
8
Add the broccoli florets to the sauce and cook until they are bright green and tender, about 4 minutes.
9
Chop the parsley leaves finely and set aside.
10
Add the cooked linguine and parsley to the skillet with the broccoli and sauce. Toss to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes.
11
Serve the pasta with the seared tofu on top. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges for squeezing over the dish.
