Easy Ricotta Cheese

1) Squeeze out excess water from tofu. Use a fork or potato masher to mash tofu until it reaches "ricotta-like" consistency.
2) Add in nutritional yeast and, if using, vegan cheeses and mix until well-incorporated. Using the palm of your hand, crush the oregano and basil into smaller flakes and add to the mixture. Add garlic and salt and pepper, to taste. I like to go heavy on the pepper.
3) Heat in the microwave or in a covered saucepan for a few minutes until it's warm!
I usually make this the night before without heating and then eat for lunch at work on top of pasta & veggies.
