In a bowl, place tofu, then add in fajita seasoning and toss to coat. After that, add in corn starch and olive oil and toss to thoroughly combine.

Remove tofu from air fryer after tofu is cooked. Allow to cool, and set aside.
4

Cook pasta as per packaging instructions. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then set aside.
5

Heat oil in a pan and sauté onion and capsicum for 5 minutes over medium heat until they soften. Then, add mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes till there is no more liquid left and mushrooms are slightly browned.
6

Stir in garlic and cook for another minute till fragrant. Then, add tomato paste and fajita spice mix and stir to combine.
