Harissa Roasted Tomato & Tofu Fusilloni

This is a weeknight pasta that seriously delivers. Blistered cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, creamy tofu, and a kick of harissa get blended into a silky, pesto-like sauce that coats every twist of fusilloni beautifully. The air fryer does the heavy lifting in under 15 minutes, and the result is a bold, protein-packed bowl that feels far more indulgent than it has any right to. Dairy-free, full of plants, and on the table in 25 minutes.

Step 1

Place the cherry tomatoes on the air fryer tray, sprinkle with salt, and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Air fry at 190°C for 10–12 minutes using the roasting function until blistered and jammy. No air fryer? Roast on a lined baking tray at 180°C fan for 20–25 minutes instead.

We used soy-"thuna" instead of tofu. Also a very good combo with this recipe

Delicious! Great for using up tomatoes. I also had some sad looking spinach so I chopped it up and added it at the end 😃

Hey Gigi, what can I put instead of nutritional yeasts?

Hey Noa! you can use vegan Parmesan cheese in the same quantity as nutritional yeast for that sharp, salty kick. Another option is adding a tiny pinch of Marmite or Vegemite, which provides a deep umami hit, though they are very concentrated and strong (so just a pinch will do!). You can also pulse ground cashews or walnuts in a blender with a bit of salt ☺️

I’m not fond of the cheesy flavour but the cashew idea sounds wonderful! How will this substitution affect the amount of protein in the dish?

Great question — nutritional yeast is actually much higher in protein than cashews (around 47-50g per 100g versus 17-21g per 100g for cashews), so depending on how much you use, you may notice a slight reduction in protein. That said, it's unlikely to be significant in the context of the overall dish — as tofu is the main protein source here anyway. and cashews bring their own lovely healthy fats to the table too! 😊
