Asparagus!

So over the last nine months Hannah and I have been cooking together, introducing new things, and creating absolutely delicious meals that both of us enjoy. One of our favorite meals to make and eat is perhaps one of the easiest meals to make: asparagus, tofu, pasta sauce, and nutritional yeast, (not sure exactly what to call it).
Whenever I thought about eating vegan or even vegetarian I always wondered what type of food could be made real quick and without much hassle. I could never think of anything, one of the many reasons I never much considered vegetarianism or veganism, that and that fact that I was brought up eating some sort of meat with every meal. Even now as an adult, when I am not with Hannah the food I make that it is easy and quick includes tuna.
I'm not sure when I learned about this dish. I was at Hannah's and we were at a loss for what to eat for dinner like we usually are, and Hannah suggested that we try one of her go to dishes, tofu asparagus and sauce. I like asparagus so was all for trying out this new dish. Not going to lie though, I was a little bit nervous about trying this out, it just looked different. for some reason I'm always a little nervous trying out Hannah's food ideas (love you Hannah). But I am glad I did. Not only is this dish delicious, but it is packed full of great nutritious needed for any vegan or vegetarian.
And so a go to, quick dish was discovered.

Tofu, Asparagus, and Sauce

One cluster of asparagus
Half a jar of corn free Tomato Sauce
One half package of firm Tofu drained
1/4 c nutritional yeast
1 Tbs Olive Oil

In a frying pan warm olive oil and cook asparagus. When asparagus is cooked add tomato sauce, tofu and nutritional yeast. When tofu is warm all the way through, serve. Add more nutritional yeast on top to taste. And grad a piece of bread to sop up the remaining tomato sauce when you are done with the asparagus and tofu.

Enjoy!
