Cooking Steps
- Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 ppl) into 1/4-inch slices.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Using a fork, poke tofu all over, then cut into 1-inch strips. Season with half the Italian Seasoning, half the garlic salt and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then tofu.
- Cook until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed.)
- Transfer to an unlined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven until tender, 5-6 min.**
- Meanwhile, add linguine to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then onions and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until onions soften, 3-4 min.
- Add spinach, tomato and remaining Italian Seasoning and remaining garlic salt.
- Cook, stirring often, until spinach wilts, 1-2 min.
- Add cream, Cream Sauce Spice Blend, sour cream and reserved pasta water to the pan with veggies.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add linguine to the pan with sauce. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 1 min.
- Divide linguine between plates, then top with tofu.
- Sprinkle Parmesan over top.
