Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• one-half package firm tofu (16 ounce)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/3 cup best-quality marinara sauce
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 1/4 cup provolone cheese
• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Recipe

• 1 drain tofu and place between two dinner plates. weight the top plate with something heavy like a full jug of milk. let sit 5-10 minutes, draining off liquid a couple of times.
• 2 while the tofu is draining, heat marinara sauce and keep warm.
• 3 heat olive oil in a large heavy non-stick skillet over medium heat. meanwhile, slice tofu in appoximately 1.5-inch squares, 1/4 inch thick.
• 4 fry tofu squares in single layer, without turning, for several minutes until golden-brown and crisp on one side. flip and brown other side (if you're in a hurry, the second side doesn't have to brown completely).
• 5 place tofu on a plate and top with warmed marinara. sprinkle with cheeses and serve. (zap a few seconds in microwave if needed to melt cheese).
• 6 note: be sure to use top-quality marinara, since most of the flavor comes from this.
