Crumble your tofu onto a baking tray, add the paprika, msg & tamari, mix until evenly coated then bake at 200°C for 25-30 minutes until golden & crispy (I like to go slightly crispier than desired because it will soften a little in the sauce later)
Meanwhile, add the garlic to a well oiled pan, sauté for 30 seconds then add the carrot, onion & celery & continue to cook down until completely softened
Stir in the oregano, balsamic vinegar & tomato paste & cook until the paste darkens in colour
Once the tofu is ready, add it to the pan along with the stock, stir until throughly combined then bring to a simmer & cook until thickened
Add your cooked pasta along with a good splash of pasta water & fold through until the pasta is coated in the glossy sauce then serve!
