Vegan Carbonara
  1. Chop 1 block of firm tofu into lardons.

  2. Toss with 1 tbsp syrup, 1 tsp smoked paprika, garlic & onion granules, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp Liquid Maggi, 1 tbsp tomato purée, salt & pepper.

  3. Air-fry until crispy.

  4. Blend 1 block silken tofu, 100g cashews, 3 garlic cloves, 3 tbsp nutritional yeast, 150ml oat milk, 1 tsp miso paste, ½ tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp black salt (kala namak - for that eggy flavor), 1 tsp sugar, a pinch of turmeric (for colour), salt & heavy cracked black pepper.

  5. Gently warm the sauce in a pan with olive oil and loosen with 2 ladles of starchy spaghetti water.

  6. Remove from the heat so it doesn’t over thicken (we don’t want stodgy spaghetti), then fold in your cooked spaghetti and fresh parsley.

  7. To serve: Top with plenty of those crispy tofu lardons, fresh parsley, and extra black pepper!
