Instructions
1
In a blender combine both types of tofu, nutritional yeast, corn starch, kala namak, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, and mustard powder. Blend on high until smooth. Set aside.
2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
3
If starting with dry pasta, cook pasta in salted water. Drain and set aside.
4
Preheat an oven-safe, 12-inch, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add oil/butter, if using. Saute onion and mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, tomatoes, and dried herbs, if using, and cook for 1 minute. Add spinach, toss to incorporate, and cook until dark green and wilted, about 1 minute. Season generously with salt and pepper.
5
Add cooked pasta to the pan and stir to incorporate. If using leftover cold pasta, allow to warm in the pan for about 1 minute. Turn off the heat. Grate cheese directly onto veggie-pasta mixture. Pour tofu mixture into the pan, and use a silicone spatula or tongs to gently fold everything together, ensuring somewhat even distribution of veggies throughout the pan. Sprinkle with more black pepper, if desired.
6
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the center is hot.
7
Allow frittata to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Slide onto a cutting board, slice, and serve. If making for meal prep, let cool completely before slicing and storing in individual containers.
