Directions:

  1. Bring a large pot of water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions, about 10 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking water.
  2. Meanwhile, steam broccoli until just tender, about 7 minutes.
  3. Put tofu into food processor and puree until smooth. In medium saucepan, combine tofu, pasta sauce, olives and enough reserved pasta cooking water to create a creamy sauce. Cook sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, but do not boil! Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired.
  4. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl, add broccoli and toss to mix. Top with sauce and serve.
