Recipe Ingredients

1   Fettuccine - (12 oz) - see * Note
2 tablespoons 30mlNon-hydrogenated margarine
3   Garlic cloves - crushed
1   Silken tofu - (16 oz)
1/2 cup 118mlLow-fat milk, rice milk, or soymilk
1 teaspoon 5mlSalt
  Freshly ground black pepper - to taste
  Topping
  Grated fresh Parmesan cheese - preferably organic
  = (or Parmesan-style soy cheese)

Recipe Instructions

* Note: A combination of green and white fettuccine makes this a very attractive dish.

Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Cook the noodles in rapidly simmering water until al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes, then drain.

In the meantime, heat the margarine a small skillet. Add the crushed garlic cloves and saute over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are golden. Remove from the heat and discard the garlic cloves.

Combine the tofu and milk in a food processor and pour in the melted margarine from the skillet. Process until completely smooth and creamy. Combine the hot, drained noodles and the sauce in a large serving bowl and toss together. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper and toss again. Serve at once. Pass around Parmesan cheese to whoever wants some.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
