Tofu Macaroni

[doeskin]

just a heads up -

I tried this last night with a layer of already-made taco meat placed on top of the tofu mixture (and topped with shredded cheese) right before baking, and it was delicious. It made it a casserole instead of a side!

I am thinking about trying this recipe just using a thin layer of the tofu macaroni in a round dish, topping it with shredded cheese and pepperoni, and eating it like a pizza.

Thanks again for posting this, I love it!

Bumping up this really good recipe, which I happen to be eating at this moment!

I recommend you be sure to drain the tofu really well before using -- use a dishtowel or papertowels to press out the water before cutting (very small pieces)/breaking up the tofu.

Also, I'd recommend stiring the cream and some of the cheese together in a sauce pan with salt, pepper, and garlic/onion powder, making a cream sauce -- and for that homemade mac & cheese taste, add mustard powder! Then, mix the cream sauce with the tofu and remianing cheese -- saving a little cheese for the top.

I just gave a co-worker a taste and he had no idea it was tofu.

I should know this, is it acceptable for induction? If not, which level should I use it in. Confused about tofu.

Tofu is considerd a vegetarian cheese (which is allowed on induction), so I'm pretty sure it's acceptable. Just watch your serving size to make sure you don't OD on the cream and cheese....
