Instructions

Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cube it, season, and saute over medium-high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes.

Add the cherry tomatoes, porcini mushrooms and eggplant, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the chili flakes, pecorino romano, balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil for 2 minutes.

Cook the gnocchi separately and drain.

Let the tofu simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the gnocchi, garnished with fresh herbs.
