Updated at: Thu, 21 Nov 2024 01:33:40 GMT

Step 1

To make this dough, simply combine your flour, silken tofu, and salt in a bowl. Stir with chopsticks until a rough dough starts to form. Then begin kneading with your palm in the bowl to form a dough. If the dough is sticking to your hands, add in more flour.

Step 2

Dust a surface with flour, then place the dough onto your surface and continue kneading for 5 minutes until a medium-hard dough has formed.

Step 3

Cover with cling film and then set aside in the fridge while you make your sauce.

Step 4

Place a frying pan on low heat. Drizzle with oil and then add in your chopped shallots. Fry for a few minutes and then add in your peas and pesto. Stir that all in and then cook your pasta.

Step 5

Place a pan of boiling water on the heat.

Step 6

Get your dough and using scissors, gently cut the dough into bitesized pieces by pressing the scissors against the dough and cutting into the dough (see the photos above or check out the video on Instagram). Repeat until there is no more dough.

Step 7

Boil for 2 minutes and then drain (make sure to keep a mug of pasta water).

Step 8

Add your tofu pasta into your pesto sauce with a few spoonfuls of the pasta water to make a glossy sauce.

Step 9

Once your pasta is ready, serve up and top with cottage cheese, chopped chillies if you fancy, or any topping you like!
