  6. In the same skillet, add sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper, stirring until combined.
  7. Pour in vegetable broth, tomato paste, and cashew cream, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  8. Stir in baby spinach until wilted, then add fresh basil and vegan parmesan if desired.
  9. Return crispy tofu to the skillet, coating it with the sauce, and heat through for another minute.
  10. Serve over pasta, rice, or with fresh bread.
