Recipe for Tofu Mac & Cheese:
1. 250g Alec Nero Gluten Free pasta
2. 150g grated cheddar and mozzarella
3. 100g Red Leicester cheese (with black pepper or plain), grated
4. 1 box silken tofu
5. 250g milk
6. 3 cloves garlic, minced finely
7. 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (omit for gluten free version)
8. Bacon bits, toasted (optional)
9. Some mild olive oil, salt and pepper
Steps:
1. Cook pasta in boiling salted water till al dente, set aside
2. Roast bacon and garlic (separately) in oven with some olive oil. Remove garlic before it turns black.
3. Add garlic to blender with silken tofu, blend till smooth.
4. In a pot, add tofu mixture, milk, grated cheeses, some salt and pepper. Seasons it saltier than you usually like- it will “even out” with the bland pasta. Keep stirring to prevent sticking, remove from heat once cheese has melted.
5. In a baking dish, combine pasta with cheese sauce. Baking is optional.
6. Sprinkle panko with bacon bits, add more cheese if you wish, and bake at 220degC for 20min. Serve warm.
