This make one of the best spaghettis I ever ate, period. This is worth making for a special occasion, or if you wish to splurge a little. It is a LOT of olives for one recipe.

The only thing that’s long to make there is the tofu but it’s fully worth it, since the taste is a lot more interesting. If you only have time to use store-brought tofu, you should sauté it or it will be a bit too bland.
