For best results, ensure the tofu is well-pressed to remove excess water. This will allow it to crisp up nicely when pan-fried. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce for a touch of heat. Serve immediately with a side of angel hair pasta, garlic bread, and a crisp green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
