 Oh my goodness, this was delicious!!!!!!!! 

One of the best tofu dinners we've had.  I served it with some whole wheat pasta, green beans flavored with turkey bacon and some chunks of roasted squash.

I will add two cans of tomato sauce next time cuz the pasta didn't get enough sauce, but otherwise the dish was perfect!
