Fresh tomato gnudi




This is a plant-based version of gnudi made with tofu. Nutritional yeast is a great substitute for cheese as it has a nutty, cheesy flavour.

- 1 x 349 g extra firm tofu

- 2 tomatoes, cut into 8 pieces
- 350 g Woolworths exotic tomatoes, halved
- 10 g chives, thinly sliced

Method
Ingredients
1. Blend the tofu until creamy. Place in a bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients.
2. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Drop in tablespoons of mixture and cook for 1 minute only (don’t make them too small as they will overcook). Drain.
3. Divide the salad between 4 bowls and top with the gnudi and grated cheese.
Cook's note: If you don't follow a plant-based diet, grilled lamb chops are the perfect accompaniment here.
