Silk Tofu Carbonara Paste
This recipe provides the comforting flavor profile of a classic pasta dish but replaces the heavy noodle texture with a smooth, high-protein tofu base that goes down easily.
Gentle for a sore mouth.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup silken tofu
- 1 tbsp finely grated parmesan cheese (ensure it's completely powdery)
- 1 tsp olive oil
How to make it
- Warm the olive oil in a small pan over very low heat.
- Add the silken tofu and mash it directly in the pan until it warms through gently.
- Stir in the finely grated parmesan cheese until it melts smoothly into the tofu. Blend if needed for extra smoothness.
