I needed something a bit more substantial than last night's rather frugal dinner.

Courgettes fritters served with low fat tofu mayonnaise, Cornish sea salt. A tossed rocket/arugula salad with evo/cider vinegar dressing.

A huge white peach for dessert.
 
I bought 4 kilos of courgettes as they were only 75 cts/kilo. I made wholewheat penne with a courgette, tofu and lemon creamy sauce. Served with a drizzle of evo and lots of Cornish sea salt.

Soya yogurt with sf bramble jam for dessert as well as a small bunch of grapes.
 
I love finding good tofu recipes because my whole family likes it and it's the only soy my belly can tolerate. How did you make your sauce?

I use either wholewheat or spelt penne or linguine.

I cut up the courgettes into thin strips (smaller if using penne) and sautee them in evo using a lid. Cook until nearly soft. They should be golden brown and moist.

The amount depends on whether you wish to have a vegetable with pasta or pasta with vegetable dish.
I season them with garlic salt, salt and pepper. I use a packet of tofu (200g) which I drain and pat dry. Cut into squares and add it to the FP with approx 1/2 a lemon (juiced) garlic salt, dried shallots, salt,a drizzle of evo and a few chilli flakes. I sometimes add 1/8 cup of Brewer's yeast flakes.
Whizz until you obtain a fine mixture and put aside.

Cook the pasta ( 2 servings) until al dente, put aside at least 1 cup of the water. Drain. Add the tofu mixture to the cooked courgettes, mix with a spatula and gently add the pasta water until you obtain a thick creamy sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add the pasta and stir.
Place into a pasta bowl add a generous drizzle of evo and lots of Maldon or Cornish sea salt flakes.

Serves 2.
 
I made a Mexican inspired dish using courgettes that I sauteed in evo with shallots, soya mince, garlic, chilli flakes. I served it with a fresh tomato (from the farm) salsa, guacamole and Cholula original hot sauce. I also had some carrot sticks with guacomole.

I made an almond milk chocolate and mint ice cream for dessert.

I'm eating out of the freezer today on account of having a loooong day at work: Vegan shepherd's pie (spinach, broccoli, peas and carrots) and a tossed salad of mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions and kalamata olives topped with homemade Italian dressing.
