That's great Fiona! You know cooking is like building blocks that children play with. No matter how you put them, they make a shape. It's just that some make sense and some don't. See how you created your own recipe with your own creation. Well Done! You can even post such recipes on this site, so that others like you can also get benefited. ;-)

I think it will taste great with Alfredo Sauce, at least it is true for all those who love cream and cheese ;-). Let us know how it went.

It was perfect with alfredo sauce! Marinating the tofu was crucial to the flavour. I will definitely make it again. Thanks!

Will this recipe work if I substitute alfredo sauce for the tomato sauce?
