Dairy-Free Túrós Csusza with Smoked Tofu
A Hungarian pasta dish traditionally made with cheese (túró) and bacon. This dairy-free version uses smoked tofu for a similar smoky flavor and nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste.
Ingredients
- about 450 g Pasta
- about 225 g Smoked tofu
- 4 tbsp Vegan butter
- 1/4 cup Nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- to taste Salt
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Cook the about 450 g Pasta in a large pot of boiling water until it is tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta well and set it aside.
- 2While the pasta is cooking, break the about 225 g Smoked tofu into small, bite-sized crumbles with your hands.
- 3Place a 30.48 cm skillet over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C). Add the 4 tbsp Vegan butter and let it melt completely.
- 4Add the crumbled about 225 g Smoked tofu to the melted vegan butter in the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until the tofu is slightly browned and has a pleasant aroma.
- 5Add the drained about 450 g Pasta to the skillet with the cooked smoked tofu. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup Nutritional yeast and 1/2 tsp Black pepper over the pasta and tofu.
- 6Toss everything together gently in the skillet until the pasta and tofu are evenly coated with the nutritional yeast and pepper. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- 7Season the dish with Salt to your preference. Stir one last time to distribute the salt evenly.
- 8Serve the Dairy-Free Túrós Csusza immediately while it is hot.
