Cut the tofu into small cubes and fry in a pan without any fat until golden brown, then keep warm. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves, then sauté in a little fat until translucent, then add the chili flakes. Deseed and remove the membranes from the bell peppers, cut into small cubes, and add to the onions. Deglaze with a splash of red wine and top up with the vegetable stock. Season generously with salt, pepper, and oregano, cover, and simmer over low heat for 8-10 minutes. Fold in the tofu and finish with crème fraîche. Cook the whole-wheat noodles in salted water until al dente, season the noodles again if desired, and serve on top of the noodles.
