Sneak a little soy protein into your diet by blending tofu into the tomato and garlic sauce. If you want to use the entire package of tofu, the sauce can easily be doubled and refrigerated for later use. Ingredients:

2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 (8-ounce) package pre-sliced mushrooms |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano |
1/2 (12-ounce) package soft tofu, drained |
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
cooking spray |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated fresh parmesan cheese |
