This was really good! I changed the amounts a bit: I used a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes, 1 lb of tofu, 3 green onions (and thought it could use more) and a 375g package of spaghetti (very slightly more than 3/4 lb). The amount of tomatoes worked well so I suspect that 14.5 oz of tomatoes wouldn't give enough sauce, at least not for my tastes. Also threw in some baby spinach. Oh yeah, I also put ALL the lemon juice into the sauce... which is why my boyfriend didn't like it nearly as much as I did, lol! (I love lemon.) I was thinking 4 or 5 stars but BF said 3, so I settled on 4. Great recipe that I'll be making again!
