METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven on a high heat

  2. Cook the pasta as instructed on the package. Drain and set aside to cool thoroughly

  3. Cook the tofu bacon pieces: Mix the liquid smoke, maple syrup, water and sea salt together. Coat the tofu in the mixture, leaving a little aside to baste the tofu in during cooking.

  4. Place the tofu on a lined baking tray - ensure separated

  5. Place the tray in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes. Stir halfway through and add the remainder of the liquid. Again, ensure the tofu pieces are separated to avoid them sticking together

  6. Remove them from the oven when the edges have started to crisp

  7. Take 2 tablespoons of Hellmann's Vegan Mayo and sprinkle in black pepper to taste

  8. Stir the mayo through the cooled pasta, followed by the tofu bacon and cherry tomatoes. Top with fresh, crisp lettuce
