Tofu mix:
1 pound extra firm tofu, drained
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/3 c. olive oil
2 Tbs. nutritional yeast
3 veggie sausage patties, fried in a little oil and crumbled
2 tsp. capers
handful of green olives, chopped
Crumble tofu into a bowl, then add remaining ingredients except capers and olives and mix well. Then fold in capers and olives.
Meanwhile cook a pound of penne in plenty of water until not quite al dente. Spread a little olive oil in a large shallow baking dish then add a few tablespoons marinara (we used an organic marinara from a jar; if you have time and inclination, you can make your own). Add 1/3 of the pasta to the baking dish, top with 1/3 of the tofu mixture then 1/3 of the marinara. Continue layering like this with the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle a little olive oil on top and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

My daughter would love this dish. She loves pasta. I make pasta in various ways but have not made it with tofu yet. I will have to try this. Thanks for posting.
I forget where we originally found this idea, but mixing crumbled tofu with a healthy amount of olive oil and some Italian seasonings is great with pasta, or in a lasagne.
