We love this recipe because it is so easy, so delicious and so full of protein. It has been a thrill to have access to so many recipes that incorporate tofu in such creative, and delicious ways. No longer have to worry about how to eat more protein. Many thanks Sam!

I love this recipe and make it at least once a month! I've made it for non-vegetarians and they couldn't even tell that it wasn't meat. The texture is amazing and it's such an easy, quick recipe to make. I've also used this method of cooking tofu and added it to soups with delicious results.

In reply to Vicky Kirby. just want to give a heads up when you half the Recipe, or double it... the spaghetti OUNCES change, but the GRAMS do not. they remain the same.

In reply to Vivienne. Yay, so happy you and your family love the recipe so much Vivienne! Yes, absolutely, you can make big batches of the tofu crumbles, bake them, allow them to cool then freeze in air-tight containers or freezer bags. When ready to use the crumbles, you can stir them directly into the marinara and heat through (no need to thaw first). Enjoy!

One of the things I missed the most after going vegan was a good meat sauce. And all of the substitute meat crumbles were either not the right texture or had some funny ingredients or aftertaste. The tofu meat in this recipe is just perfect. And combined with the sauce and pasta is on par with my favorite meat sauce recipe that I don’t have to miss ever again. And the carnivore in the family loved it as well and did not notice a difference when I told him it was healthy tofu.
Is it possible to make the tofu meat itself and then freeze it not in the meat sauce? And if so can it just be used in a recipe or does it have to be defrosted first?
Thank you for another wonderful recipe!

One of my favorite meals growing up was spaghetti with meat sauce. This definitely checks all the boxes for a favorite childhood craving! I used to buy imitation beef crumbles, I didn't always like the texture and definitely don't like the cost. I've been making this recipe for years on a regular basis, even my picky non vegan daughter enjoys this.

Loved this receive, great way to create tofu mince.
We cooked the tofu in the air fryer for 20 minutes

In reply to TofuAnnie. So happy you are loving our print options, and even happier you love this recipe! I love the idea of doubling the "meat" and freezing for later, that's a great idea!

I know you've been adding the cooking steps to your print screen for a while, but I just wanted to say, it makes printing to pdf so nice! Your bolognese is such a perfect meal. I like to double the 'meat' and freeze to make it quicker to pull together when stapped for time. Thank you!!!

This is SUCH a fantastic recipe! If you like meaty sauce, this hits it out of the park. My teenage daughter is constantly asking me to make this. It is SO delicious and you'd never guess the "meat" is tofu! It is SO good, by far my favorite recipe and it's super easy!! Do yourself a favor and make this today!

The only regret I have is that I didn’t make this sooner in my journey since going vegan. I couldn’t stop eating it before serving it. I made the recipe exactly as written. Again, another winning recipe from you! Thank you
as this is now on rotation for our Italian night themed meals.

Easy and Delicious! This was SO 'meaty' and everybody loved it! I highly recommend!

Beyond awesome! We just became vegan and cooking meals was no longer automatic for me. I had to plan ahead if we weren't going to eat vegan fake meat sandwiches all of the time, which we did for two weeks, plus the usual veggie Thai or Indian curries. So, this was the first recipe I made from Sam's book. We could not stop eating this! I made a full batch and the two of us ate ALL of it!. As did another reviewer, I made extra batch of baked tofu and froze for future meals, it's that good!

This recipe has become a staple in my house! I make the tofu in advance and then when it's spaghetti night I throw the tofu & sauce in the slow cooker to warm it up.

Delicious every time!

Delicious when you’re craving a meaty sauce without the meat! I’m not usually a huge fan of tofu dishes but you really can’t even tell the “bolognese” is made from tofu in this one.
