BAKED "ZITI" W/ TOFU SHIRATAKI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a 8x8 (1.75qt oval is what I use) baking dish; set aside.
• Tofu Noodles: Bring pot of water to boil, add well DRAINED tofu noodles and return to boil. Boil for two minutes and leave to drain in colander until needed. OR just rinse and drain noodles, then microwave for one minute and place in colander to drain while preparing remaining ingredients.
• In a large saucepan over medium high heat, cook ground meat, onions, green pepper, garlic and black pepper over medium heat until meat is browned; drain fat. Add pasta sauce, crushed red pepper & Italian seasoning (if your sauce isn't seasoned enough) and cook until mixture is hot, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, cut tofu noodles into manageable pieces. Then add noodles to the sauce mixture and mix well. Stir in 1/4 cup of the Mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, mixing until well combined.
• Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining cheeses - 1/4 cup of the mozz, 1/4 cup cheddar and 1/4 cup parmesan. Cover with foil (or lid).
• Bake at 350ºF for 15 minutes. Remove foil/lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until edges are bubbly. Allow to stop bubbling before serving.

LIGHTENED UP CREAMY SMOKED SALMON FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• NOODLE PREP: Rinse tofu noodles under hot water. Drain and cut noodles in half (into manageable pieces.) For best results, prepare noodles ahead of time so they will be more dry. Run them through the microwave and drain a few times, squeezing out excess water, and then set in a bowl wrapped in paper towels in the refrigerator until time for use. Drier noodles make for a much better dish!
• Prepare a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium. Add shallot and cook until soft. (Add a few drops of water to help soften if need be.).
• Meanwhile, in a small dish put the cream cheese, broth, lemon juice and zest, and dill weed. Set aside.
• Add the peas to the shallots and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the tofu Shirataki noodles and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Add the smoked salmon and stir. Season with salt and pepper.
• Reduce heat to medium low. Make a small well in the center of the noodles and add the cream cheese mixture. Stir gently until cheese is soft and melted in, and seasonings are mixed. (Heat very gently so the dill doesn't get yucky!).
• Spray the top of the dish with more butter flavored spray, and season with more salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
