Italian Vegetable Pie

I fixed this dish for the sole reason it has Tofu in it, and thus I would be able to say I have tried Tofu. I am absolutely disgusted by even the look of Tofu, so much I can't even fathom trying it. I mean it's a firm gelatinous substance made from soy beans, how good can it taste? The great news is that I loved this dish! It's loaded with enough flavor that any flavor the Tofu has is pretty well masked and just added some texture to the food. It was even well received by my daughter so we have another Tot approved recipe as well.

Ingredients
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup mushrooms (about 3 ounces)
