Tips

  • Go easy on the garlic in the yogurt sauce as its raw flavor will linger.
  • Cook the tofu low and slow for 25-30 minutes until it dries up and crisps up slightly.
  • Put your pasta on to cook when starting the tofu mince, as the mince will take 15-20 minutes to cook.
  • Rigatoni pasta is recommended as a favorite choice for this dish
