Does anyone have any recipes using tofu...but in such a way that it's not in noticeable chunks, or a focal point? Like, for someone who doesn't want to know they're eating it...
I have a recipe at home for a tofu pesto lasagna, which I've never actually made as a lasagna because I've never had lasagna noodles when I wanted it.
The abbreviated version: you take some tofu and mash it up with olive oil. Mix it with spinach and pesto, and put it over pasta. It tastes wonderful, and I'll bet it would be even more wonderful made as a lasagna as it was originally intended. If you're interested, I'll put the recipe up when I get home late tonight.
I have a recipe at home (will post for you later, if you'd like) for pumpkin pie made with tofu. Its blended in completely and gives it an incredible texture.
My dad (who is a 'meat & potatoes' type of guy) likes it better than regular pumpkin pie.
