Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
cooking spray
4 tsp olive oil, divided
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 cups tightly packed fresh baby spinach (about 1 1/4 oz)
1 1/2 cups cubed reduced-fat silken tofu (about 6 oz)
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup (1 oz) grated fresh pecorino romano cheese
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
3/4 tsp salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups hot cooked whole wheat spaghetti (about 8 oz uncooked )
2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450°.
Place tomatoes, cut sides up, on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Drizzle tomatoes with 2 teaspoons oil; sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper. Bake at 450° for 7 minutes or until tender.
Combine remaining 2 teaspoons oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, spinach, tofu, and next 5 ingredients (through garlic) in a food processor; process until smooth.
Combine spinach mixture and pasta in a large skillet; cook over low heat 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Gently stir in tomatoes and toasted pine nuts. Serve immediately.
