Cooking Steps
Before starting, add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Wash and dry all produce. Add rigatoni to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return rigatoni to the same pot, off heat.
Meanwhile, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 4-5 min. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer zucchini to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
Pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces. Sprinkle over half the Italian Seasoning (all for 4 ppl). Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu to the same pan. Cook, stirring often, until golden-brown all over, 6-7 min.Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and pepper. Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.
Add tomato sauce base to the pan with tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato sauce base is well-combined with tofu mixture, 1-2 min. Add crushed tomatoes, reserved pasta water and cream. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper.
