I have been cooking and baking with tofu for many years, but silken tofu only found its way into my kitchen a few years ago. Silken tofu is a special type of tofu. It is also known as "soft tofu". Silken tofu has a higher water content and a creamier texture than firm or extra-firm tofu. The creamy texture is perfect for this tasty tomato sauce.
