Silken Tofu Fettuccini

INGREDIENTS:

12 ounces fettuccini

3 garlic cloves

2 Tablespoons butter

1 pound silken tofu

2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup milk or soy milk

1-1/4 teaspoons salt

2 Tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

TO PREPARE:

Cook the pasta in boiling water in a saucepan for 10 to 12 minutes or until al dente; drain. Cover to keep warm.

Crush the garlic with the side of a knife. Saute the garlic in the butter in a sauté pan over medium–low heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the heat and discard the garlic to make a garlic-infused butter.

Combine the garlic-infused butter, silken tofu, 2/3 cup cheese, milk and salt in a food processor. Process until smooth and creamy. Combine the hot pasta and tofu sauce in a large serving bowl and toss to mix. Sprinkle with the parsley and 1/4 cup cheese.
