Ginger and Soy Baked Tofu

A relatively simply dish of marinated baked tofu; I wrap the tofu in foil to retain the moisture but you could just lay the tofu out on a baking sheet. The only 'unusual' ingredient in this is the mirin, which is a type of rice wine easily found in any Asian supermarket. However, you could substitute for it with a dry white wine or leave it out entirely.

I rarely eat tofu, despite really enjoying it, because it is such a pain to prepare properly i.e. pressing it and dry frying it. However, you could probably skip the pressing of the tofu and dry frying in this recipe if you're short on time, and I expect it would turn out fine, although you would need to be careful not to break the tofu when stirring the marinade in.

Summery Courgette and Ricotta Pasta

A simple and quick pasta dish! I recommend slicing the courgettes thickly so they retain some bite and don't fall apart when mixing into the pasta dish.
