Tofu Alfredo

[kylissa]

This is in my top 5 vegan favorite recipes!
I am such a fan of green onions and herbs, PERFECT. I roast my garlic in the oven with the oil first as a slight variation to the recipe.
Thanks very much for this       -Lauren

I love this recipe too. Made it for the second time today. The first time I burnt the garlic which made the sauce a little bitter, but still good. Today I made sure not to overcook it. It was a little bland at first so I added some garlic powder and onion powder. I also threw in about 1/4 c of vegan parmesan-- I don't really like the stuff, but I have a whole thing of it in my fridge. I think the small amount ended up being a nice touch.

Also, I didn't use as much oil as stated in the recipe-- just enough to cook the garlic. I also added about 3/4c almond milk (would've used soy but was out) to thin it a little. It came out so good, really reminiscent of dairy alfredo, but not so heavy. It's so easy and fast, I'm sure I'll be making it a lot. A great way to use those near-expired boxes of silken tofu.

Yum!  this is a great recipe.  i used silken tofu, extra firm.  also, i used earth balance margerine instead of olive oil for a more buttery flavor.  i added more garlic, and added some nutritional yeast.  this is great with onions, kale, and peppers mixed with pasta!  thank you!

It's a little hard to get past the texture of this whipped tofu sauce, but once you do, it's really a wonderfully tasty dish!  I'm definately making this again.  I'm excited about experimenting with whipping tofuti in, finding some of the vegan parm that was mentioned, or adding nutritional yeast.

I actually have a question. I have a piece of tofu in the freezer and I was looking for a recipe to use it. I think its firm and, being in the freezer, it's going to have that chewy texture. Do you think it would work in this recipe?

I'm no tofu expert, but I wouldn't.  The texture is a little rough even with soft tofu.  Firm tofu that's been frozen wouldn't cream well at all.

Very,Very, good dish. I must say. Has so much more flavor than I thought.

That's what I figured. Okay, I'll just whip up a homemade "meat" sauce with the tofu instead and remember to buy a small Mori-Nu silken tofu for this especially; I really would like to try it.

Thanks~ <3

This is great!!! My husband who does not like change and loveeess meat, loved it! I did not have parsley or basil but it was still great. I also blend the onion (because my husband hates onions) and I add a few squeezes of fresh lemon..  Yumm yumm

This is really good! I actually used extra firm non-silken tofu..and it came out fine. I added quite a bit of soymilk to make it creamier (and it probably would have been creamier with a softer tofu), but it was delicious. I used four large garlic cloves, just a little oil , and sauteed mushrooms and rainbow chard. I added the sauce to my vegetables, and added lots of s and p, basil, green onions,  and some garlic powder. I used linguine b/c it's what I had.

"omg it's alfredo!"
Yeah, it tastes like the real thing!!
I added a lot of soymilk to thin it out, some garlic powder, and vegan parm.
Topped it with sauteed red peppers and mushrooms.
Thanks!!

This was awesome! My husband and all of my children ate it up!

My daughter even had a non-vegan friend over and she loved it too!

Thank you so much for such a great recipe!

Yum, this is one of my favorite vegweb recipes!

To be quite honest, I didn't care for this. It may be because of how I cooked it though... I used it as a sauce for a pasta casserole dish. I followed the recipe until the cooking part, and instead mixed it with my noodles and veggies in a casserole dish and heated it in the oven. I thought the texture was fine, but there was no taste.
