MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH A TWIST



Macaroni and Cheese with a Twist image

I found this recipe in one of my favorite cookbooks: "The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook" Besides being a great dairy free recipe for "mac and cheese", the flavor of the dish from the miso, tofu and lemon is really unique. It's also a fun way to sneak tofu into the diets of non vegetarians. I do eat dairy, so I usually use skim milk and real cheese instead of the soy, but the original recipe from the book uses the non-dairy options.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
2 cups soymilk (can substitute skim milk)
12 ounces soft tofu or 12 ounces silken tofu
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon white miso
1 -2 dash hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
salt & freshly ground black pepper (for a nice change, try using fresh ground white pepper)
12 ounces rotini pasta (spiral shaped)
1 cup grated soy cheese (can substitute cheddar or monteray jack cheese if you eat dairy)
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Lightly spray a 2 1/2 quart caserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, and saute the onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Place onions in a blender or food processor with the milk, tofu, lemon juice, miso, hot sauce, turmeric, and salt and pepper.
  • Process until well blended.
  • Take a taste and adjust any of the seasonings as needed, then set aside.
  • Cook rotini in a large pot of boiling salted water until just under al dente (I'd say about 6-7 minutes).
  • Drain pasta and add the sauce from the blender and half of the grated cheese.
  • Combine well.
  • Place pasta into the caserole dish, and top with the breadcrumbs and the remaining cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake until the top is lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
  • Let sit about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
