Bring a large pot of generously salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions. Before draining, reserve 150 ml of the pasta water.

While the pasta cooks, add the tofu, roasted peppers, cooking cream, Parmesan, tomato paste, olive oil, garlic, vegetable stock powder, paprika, oregano, cayenne (if using), lemon juice and plenty of black pepper to a high-speed blender. Add only a small pinch of salt at first, as the Parmesan and stock already contain salt.

Blend for 1–2 minutes until the sauce is completely smooth and silky. If it seems very thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water while blending.

Pour the sauce into a large frying pan or sauté pan and warm over medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring regularly. Do not let it boil rapidly.

Add the drained pasta and toss until evenly coated. Gradually stir in the reserved pasta water until the sauce becomes glossy and perfectly coats the pasta.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more lemon juice, black pepper or salt if needed.

Divide between bowls and finish with extra Parmesan, freshly cracked black pepper and basil.
