Teriyaki Penne with Tofu, originally uploaded by speedvegan.

My friend came over for dinner and I wanted to make her something really yummy so I made this.

8 oz penne pasta
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp ginger, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
16 oz extra firm tofu, cut into cubes
3 cups broccoli slaw mix
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced

1. Cook pasta according to package directions and drain.

2. While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Cook the ginger and garlic in hot oil for 30 seconds.

4. Add tofu and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

5. Add broccoli slaw mix and teriyaki sauce. Cook and stir for 5 more minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender.

6. Toss broccoli mixture with hot pasta and add scallions. Serve immediately.

If you can’t find packaged broccoli slaw mix, make your own with white and red cabbage, broccoli stems and carrots.
