  • 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
