Italian Casserole

 

1 pound firm tofu

1 tablespoon oil

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon parsley

2 teaspoons oregano

1 teaspoon basil

1 quart spaghetti sauce

1/2 pound large shell macaroni

1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated

 

Drain and mash tofu.

 

Heat oil in a skillet. Add tofu and all spices. Mix well and stir until tofu

stops steaming (5 to 10 minutes).

 

Add one cup of spaghetti sauce and simmer 5 minutes.

 

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

 

Boil macaroni until tender.

 

In a 2-quart baking dish, layer 1/2 of the cooked macaroni, 1 1/2 cups of

spaghetti sauce, 1/2 of the tofu mixture and 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat, using

all remaining cheese on top. Bake for about 30 minutes or until cheese melts and

sauce bubbles.
