Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  3. If starting with dry pasta, cook pasta in salted water. Drain and set aside.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the center is hot.
  7. 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.
