-The best thing about this recipe is that it is a fantastic opportunity to use tofu. Tofu is a member of the legume family. There are not too many foods that can scientifically be linked to a longer life except legumes. The tofu blends in well with tomato, cheese and pasta sheets
-Whenever there is an opportunity to add green leaves (eg. Spinach, herbs) to a meal, do it. They contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and even omega 3 unsaturated fats.
-Try adding a handful (or more) of chopped edible "weeds" such as sow thistle, mallow, amaranth, stinging nettle, nightshade or sea celery (if you are near the coast). See my edible weeds page.
-I tried this recipe with mashed cooked pumpkin, the only vegetable I happened to have and it worked well.
