...as if it wasn't hard enough to please everyone at the dinner table, let's add tofu!

1 large onion, finely chopped
3 celery stalks, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup tomato paste (60 ml)

Grind tofu in a food processor or with a fork. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, heat oil. Add onion, celery, carrots. Cook over medium-high heat until vegetables begin to soften, about 15 minutes. Add oil, if needed.
Add tofu, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, Italian seasoning , crushed red peppers, black pepper, tomatoes and tomato paste.
Bring to a boil and simmer gently over low heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan regularly, for 60 minutes.
