Cornflake crumbs are a special product found next to the bread crumbs. If you do have regular cornflake cereal, you can just put them in a bag and smash them until they become small crumbs. The tomato sauce recipe is from the famous Italian American cooking teacher, Marcella Hazan, who only uses 3 ingredients: crushed tomatoes, half an onion and butter. Just cut an onion in half, peel and discard the outer papery skin. Place this half-onion (no need to chop any further) into the pot. The onion that is cooked in the tomato sauce will be removed once the sauce is cooked - the onion will have transferred all its flavors into the sauce!You can use any Mori-nu tofu, we prefer the silken tofu.For a dairy-free version - use soy cheese.
