Tofu Creamed Spinach
1
Libby
"A good alternative to higher-fat versions of creamed spinach, silken tofu is pureed with milk, cheese, and seasonings, then added to spinach sauteed with onions and garlic. Serve it to anyone, and don't tell them there's tofu in it until they've already eaten some. If you like, pan fry some thinly sliced mushrooms with the onion and garlic, or add some canned mushrooms with the spinach. You could also add a little crushed red pepper for heat and sprinkle some extra cheese on top for serving."

This didn't come close to being "creamed". I mean, it wasn't creamy at all. 'Kind of turned out like - uh - um- I don't know what, but there was no creaminess to it. No sauce. Easily eaten w...

Some reviewers commented on the bitterness of this dish. The way to reduce bitterness is to include the stem of the spinach in your dish (many people cut it out). The variety is also important, ...

Very yummy. A great way to get your protein and veggies in one delicious dish. I substituted 3 - 10oz packages of spinach for the fresh because I'm lazy! I only put 1/3 cup of cheese and adde...

Great recipe! It's a filling, delish dinner when tossed with pasta, and would probably be a great filling for a lasagna. Next time I'll probably add tomatoes or mushrooms too

Very good. I used asiago cheese, and I really appreciate the silky texture from the tofu. Soooooo healthy! I used frozen spinach because that's what I had on hand, and I blended the garlic al...
