So...If you ever come across a "Skinny Tofu Alfredo" Recipe-...
RUN!
RUN!
Ok, ok, so that's going a bit overboard, but I definately deleted it off my recipe list! I think the main problem, was that the recipe had the Tofu pureed with all the other ingredients, and that left a chalky, bland consistency. Oh, and that's AFTER I had already DOUBLED the herbs and spices AND added a stick of butter (egad!). I ended up tossing in some splenda and Sriracha and calling it edible....Will liked it, but not enough to attempt saving it for leftovers.
I still think the idea is there, but next time I will cube the Tofu and let it soak up the sauce, so that it doesn't over power the whole dish. Basically, that means find a decent alfredo recipe, sub all the low-fat/no-fat ingredients you feel like, throw in some fun herbs and spices, cube up some Tofu and get to cookin'! I want to try it over Spaghetti Squash, but whole grain pasta is another decent alternative. If anyone tries it and has luck, LET ME KNOW!
Nighty-Night!
