Add a third of the noodles with half of the tofu mixture and half of the remaining sauce. the remaining tofu, the remaining noodles, then the remaining sauce. Add another third of the noodles,the remaining tofu, the remaining noodles, then the remaining sauce. Top with the grated mozzarella and black olives, if desired.


Cover the pan and bake for about 20 minutes, then bake for 20 more minutes uncovered.
