Ingredients:

Serving

500 g soft tofu (2 blocks)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, diced
2 cups kale or 2 cups spinach, chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp basil (dried )
1/2 tsp oregano (dried )
1/2 tsp thyme (dried )
1/4 cup light miso
1/3 cup kalamata olive, pitted and chopped (black )
1/3 cup green olives, pitted and chopped (or substitute with sun-dried tomatoes)
1 lb fettuccine , linguine (or other long noodles)
pepper

Directions:

In a small pot of simmering water, poach tofu for three minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
Add onions, kale, bay leaf, basil, oregano and thyme.
Cook, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or until onions are translucent, reducing heat to low after 3-4 minutes.
Discard bay leaf.
In a food processor or blender, puree the onion mixture with tofu and miso until smooth and creamy (for a chunkier sauce, mix ingredients by hand). Stir in chopped olives.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta until tender but firm and drain.
Immediately toss with tofu mixture and season with pepper.
