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 sweet corn, carrots and zucchini, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the parmesan, cream, fresh herbs and chili flakes for a final minute.

Cook the penne pasta separately and drain.

Let the tofu simmer for about 15 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the penne pasta, garnished with fresh herbs.
