What ingredients can I substitute in Tofu Tomato Pasta?

How should I store leftover Tofu Tomato Pasta?

How do I reheat Tofu Tomato Pasta?

Can I scale Tofu Tomato Pasta up or down?

A large skillet, saucepan, or sheet pan works well for Tofu Tomato Pasta. Pick one big enough to hold the ingredients in a single layer so everything cooks evenly instead of steaming.
