Happy Friday & Final day of tofu week! Let’s end the week strong with this delicious bruschetta pasta with balsamic tofu.
I can’t believe it’s the last day of tofu week! I am so sad. I had so much fun creating these delicious but simple recipes featuring tofu.
Today I wanted to finish off with a really special recipe. This bruschetta pasta is seriously so delicious and packed with so much flavor.
I was inspired to create this recipe due to my current obsession with balsamic glaze. I have been putting it on EVERYTHING! It’s so delicious and works so well in this recipe.
The tofu is also baked in balsamic vinegar along with some olive oil and Italian seasoning. It’s really easy and you can even air fry it!
I hope that you enjoy this recipe! If you make any of my recipes, don’t forget to tag me in your stories/posts on Instagram @plantbasedjane
