This simple vegetarian pasta is not only delicious but also nutritious.I learned to appreciate this dish from my Indian Vegetarian friend, she served me this, most of the time that I visited her. I like the tofu in this dish and the taste of the tomato sauce is just light and a little peppery taste from the ground pepper,  I made this to treat myself-a light meal :-) Nice to chew.
