Cook and dress pasta
Start by boiling a big pot of salted water. Once it’s bubbling, add your pasta and cook it until it’s just tender, around 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set it aside to cool a bit. While the pasta is cooking, mix together the curry powder, salt, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a large bowl. When the pasta has cooled slightly, toss it with the curry dressing until everything is nicely coated. Then, stir in the chopped apple, raisins, green onion, shredded carrots, tofu, and pine nuts. Give everything a good mix, and it’s ready to serve!
