Here's a recipe I've tried with some success. I use it for vegetarian
lasagnas.

1 Tbsp             olive oil
1                  medium onion (chopped)
1 cup              mushrooms (sliced)
1-2                garlic cloves (minced)
500g (1 lb)        frozen tofu (defrosted)
28oz (1 can)       crushed tomatoes
8oz (1 small can)  tomato paste
1 cup              water
2 tsp              dried basil
1 tsp              dried oregano
1/2 tsp            salt

1. Shred tofu until it has the consistency of ground beef. Freezing tofu
changes its physical structure. It becomes sponge-like and much easier to
manipulate.

2. Saute onion and garlic for a minute or so under medium heat.

3. Add mushrooms and tofu and saute for a few minutes.

4. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes to
an hour.
