Ingredients
Tofu egg mixture:
- 16 ounces silken tofu, drained
- 14 ounces extra firm tofu, drained Can sub super firm tofu, such as Trader Joe's brand for a firmer, less creamy frittata.
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 1½ Tablespoons corn starch Reduce or omit if using super firm tofu (the type that contains very little water).
- 2¼ teaspoons kala namak (Indian black salt)
- 1½ teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric (for color)
- ¼ teaspoon mustard powder, optional
Other ingredients:
- 5 ounces dry angel hair pasta or spaghetti see Notes
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil or vegan butter For oil-free, omit and be sure to use a non-stick pan.
- 1 large sweet onion, chopped
- 6 ounces cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 teaspoon dried basil, oregano, or a combination, optional
- 6 ounces raw baby spinach
- fine sea salt
- black pepper
- 1 ounce vegan Parmesan or shredded cheese Or omit and add an extra pinch of salt.
Instructions
- In a blender combine both types of tofu, nutritional yeast, corn starch, kala namak, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, and mustard powder. Blend on high until smooth. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- If starting with dry pasta, cook pasta in salted water. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat an oven-safe, 12-inch, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add oil/butter, if using. Saute onion and mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, tomatoes, and dried herbs, if using, and cook for 1 minute. Add spinach, toss to incorporate, and cook until dark green and wilted, about 1 minute. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Add cooked pasta to the pan and stir to incorporate. If using leftover cold pasta, allow to warm in the pan for about 1 minute. Turn off the heat. Grate cheese directly onto veggie-pasta mixture. Pour tofu mixture into the pan, and use a silicone spatula or tongs to gently fold everything together, ensuring somewhat even distribution of veggies throughout the pan. Sprinkle with more black pepper, if desired.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the center is hot.
- Allow frittata to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Slide onto a cutting board, slice, and serve. If making for meal prep, let cool completely before slicing and storing in individual containers.
Notes
- Pasta - Use whole-grain or gluten-free, if desired. Can also use leftover cooked pasta. Note that angel hair produces a larger volume than spaghetti, as mentioned in post above.
- hole-grain or gluten-free, if desired. Can also
- use leftover cooked pasta. Note that angel hair produces a larger volume than spaghetti, as mentioned in post above.
- The frittata reheats well and is perfect for weekly meal prep.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezing not recommended.
