Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook spaghetti according to the package instructions.

While waiting for the water to boil, remove the tofu from its packaging, drain the liquid, wrap it in a paper towel, and gently press out excess water.

Over a large bowl, crumble the tofu block into small pieces with your hands.

In a large, deep pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant for about 2 minutes.

Add chopped bell pepper to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes.

Stir in crumbled tofu, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 5 minutes.

Add spinach, marinara sauce, and chopped parsley to the pan, stir well, and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.

Drain the cooked spaghetti and add it to the sauce. Mix until combined and remove from heat.

Serve pasta in bowls, and garnish with fresh basil and grated parmesan or a vegan alternative, if desired.
