Fettuccine With Silken Tofu Alfredo Sauce
Ingredients
- 12 ounce fettuccine
- 2 Tbsp. light margarine
- 3 x cloves garlic crushed
- 1 lb lite hard silken tofu or possibly about 1.5 (10-oz pkgs.) aseptic or possibly shelf stable silken tofu
- 1/2 c. lowfat 1% lowfat milk or possibly soy lowfat milk
- 1/2 c. grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt Freshly grnd pepper to taste Extra Parmesan cheese (optional) for garnish
Directions
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Cook the noodles in rapidly simmering water till al dente, about 10 to 12 min, then drain.
- In the meantime, heat the oil in a small skillet. Add in the crushed garlic cloves and saute/fry over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 min, or possibly till they are golden brown. Remove from the heat and throw away the garlic cloves.
- Combine the next 4 ingredients in a food processor and pour in the melted margarine from the skillet. Process till completely smooth and creamy.
- Combine the warm, liquid removed noodles and the sauce in a large serving bowl and toss together. Season to taste with freshly grnd pepper and toss again. Serve at once. Pass around extra grated Parmesan cheese to whoever wants some.
- Tip: A combination of green and white fettuccine makes this a very attractive dish.
- NOTES : Pureed silken tofu has an ultra-creamy, custardy texture which is perfect for sauces such as this, or possibly as a base for dips and salad dressings. Look for it in the produce section of any supermarket. The alfredo sauce is in the new pasta book.
