150 g pasta
200 g halal-certified smoked tofu
2 item pasteurized egg yolks
2 handful halal grated hard cheese

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water and keep a little of the water back when you drain it.
Pat the smoked tofu batons dry and fry them in the oil until golden. Tip them into a warm bowl with the pasteurised egg yolks and grated cheese.
Off the heat, add the hot pasta and a splash of the cooking water and toss until a creamy sauce forms. Scatter with chives.
