Alfredo Sauce for One

Do you ever have a hankering for a rich and flavorful sauce, and all you really have in the kitchen is tofu? Well, here’s the answer to your cravings. This sauce is not only delicious, but it’s good for you too!

Warning: Cook it in a fairly deep saucepan, because when the little bubbles pop, they’ll share their deliciousness with your stovetop. You don’t want to cover the pan because it will get too hot and burn.

(Makes about ½ cup)

1/4 pound silken tofu (about 1/3 of a block of tofu)

3 cloves of garlic, peeled

1 TBLSP tahini

1 TBLSP shoyu or tamari soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)

Pinch of salt

¼ cup of water

1.  Blend all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
2. Transfer to a saucepan and cook for an hour over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
3. Serve warm over pasta or vegetables.
