500 gram spaghetti

300 gram silken firm tofu, drained

1 bunch coriander, roots scrubbed and trimmed (see tip)

1/2 cup (40g) grated parmesan

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 punnet grape tomatoes, quartered

1.Cook spaghetti in a large pan boiling, salted water according directions. Drain and return to pan.

2.Meanwhile, place tofu, coriander, parmesan, garlic and oil in a food processor and process until smooth. Season to taste.

3.Add two-thirds of coriander sauce and tomatoes to spaghetti and toss well on low heat until warmed through. Serve spaghetti with dollops of remaining sauce.
