This is some yummy stuff. So yummy that Grumpy ate what I would consider 4 big serving sizes for dinner tonight. The amazing tihng about that? It's made with tofu and completely vegan. I also didn't serve anything else with it, so I can't blame him for eating so much! I mean, it IS good!
The recipe comes from Lauren Ulm's Vegan Yum Yum Cookbook. Its been a while since I have cooked from that cookbook, but there isn't a thing from that book that doesn't look delicious and isn't a thing that I have made that isn't good. Its one of my very favorite cookbooks I own! If your looking for a healthy meal and like vegan dishes such as this one, then do, go ahead and make it!

Love this dish! We've made it at least 6 times in the last couple weeks. Being vegan and on a low calorie diet there's not a lot that I can have, let alone food that io can have that tastes good! Also, the tofu is really tasty with Cajun seasoning instead of Italian, and like juice instead of lemon.

Lovely!I am sure that this preparation tastes heavenly,the tahini would add an interesting edge to the white sauce,and roasting tomatoes would intensify their flavor.

I have yet to work with tofu but I'm definitely open to trying it. I'd probably eat multiple servings of this too. It looks delish!

This sounds awesome. I have never seen nutritional yeast flakes but I have never looked either.

I'm sure it's the red sauce that brings more flavor on this recipe. I'm a tomato lover 😀
