Tofu Ricotta

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block extra firm tofu
  • 1 recipe Creamy Soy Cheese with some adjustments
  • Juice of 1 whole lemon
  • 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons of dried Basil
  • 1 Tablespoon of Dried Parsley
  • 2 t salt

Instructions
 

  • Follow the Creamy Soy Cheese recipe with these adjustments to the ingredient list:
  • 1. Increase lemon to juice of 1 whole lemon
  • 2. Add 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons of dried Basil
  • 3. Add 1 Tablespoon of Dried Parsley
  • 4. Increase salt to 2 tsp. This will make the mix a little salty, but you’re adding it to flavorless tofu, so it will even out.
  • In a large mixing bowl, crumble a block of extra firm tofu. Use a masher to break up the crumbles into smaller pieces.
  • Add about half of the Basil infused creamy soy cheese and mix.
  • Keep adding the cheese mixture until the ricotta is a cottage cheesy consistency. You do not want it too runny or liquidy.
  • And there you have it! Use for lasagna, stuffed shells, manicotti or as a dip.
