Tofu Parmigiana Recipe with Spaghetti and Tomato Basil Sauce is healthy and packed with the goodness of soy and the full bodied flavour from the tomato basil pasta sauce. The Tofu Parmigiana recipe came out of an experiment when I had two blocks of tofu sitting in the fridge sitting untouched of a week. Tofu has never been a favourite at home, and it was me who loved all things healthy and even bland. But this dish of tofu parmigiana was loved by my tofu-phobic family.
