Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C).

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, garlic cloves, 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the parsley and basil, oil and hot pepper flakes to coat. Spread onto prepared pan and roast for 25 minutes or until tomatoes are blistered and golden. Let cool slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer tomato mixture to blender with tofu and puree until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling water, cook linguine for about 8 minutes or until al dente. Place beans in colander and drain pasta over top. Return linguine and beans to pot over low heat and add tomato sauce and remaining parsley and basil. Cook stirring gently for about 1 minute and sprinkle with cheese to serve.
