Source of recipe: I wrote this recipe. I love tofu, don't get me wrong. Sometimes those eating meals I prepare are a bit overwhelmed by all the colors, textures and flavors, especially if they are not used to a healthy, balanced diet. This recipe is not only tasty but a new way to enjoy tofu in your pasta sauce.
