DH and I have been wanting to try tofu for a long time now, but we are afraid that we will make it wrong and not like it.
Any advice on the firmness or tofu? Or any recipes?
Thanks!

I use it in smoothies for protein.
I'm only a fan of super extra firm tofu. I just don't like the texture of it when it's soft. Blech.
That being said, I've never prepared it myself. Only had it at restaurants... I like it when it's in soup, or stir fry.
Overall, I try to limit my soy intake, so tofu is not a routine staple of my diet.

I have never had it in spaghetti, but I would guess that it would blend in with the taste. More likely though it would absorb the sauce and take on the taste of that.
I do sometimes. Like everyone said it takes on the taste of whatever you cook it with. I've prepared it with hamburger or tuna helper and just replaced the burger/tuna with the tofu and it's worked fine.
Like Jaye, though , I only prefer the more solid tofu. The soft stuff... I just can't handle the texture!
I wish I could find my favorite recipe on the web, but I can't remember what mag it came out of. I like to marinate my extra firm tofu that I have cubed in an Asian dressing (a combo of rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, seasme oil, ginger, and garlic) and then bake it off. I think this makes it even more firm
Then I let people add however many cube of tofu they are comfortable with into a cabbage salad that also has carrots, bell pepper, and green onions and the same dressing as above.
