Thaw the frozen tofu and pat it dry with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture.
Cook spaghetti or rice to serve with the no-meatballs. Set aside while you prepare the tofu mixture.
Crumble the tofu into a bowl and mash before adding all the remaining ingredients apart from the olive oil & tomato paste.
Shape the tofu mixture into small, bite-sized balls (about 20 balls).
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil and carefully place the tofu balls into the pan.
Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes, turning the balls occasionally for an even cook.
Pour the tomato pasta sauce into the pan with the balls and gently coat them, frying for a few more seconds to warm the sauce through and help the balls absorb some flavor.
Serve the tofu no-meat balls on a bed of spaghetti or rice. Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
