I made some delicious food tonight, and I want to share it because it took a lot of will power to not eat it all, and I have never seen anybody else make it before.

This is good if you like pasta but are trying to cut back on the carbs. I actually like it better than the pasta.

Pasta: 41 grams of carbohydrates per serving

Tofu: 3 grams of carbohydrates per serving

Italian Tofu (think pasta without the pasta)

Ingedients:

One block firm tofu

3 tablespoons of olive oil

1/2  medium yellow onion

1 clove of garlic

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of pepper

About 12 ounces of marina sauce

Small palmful of fresh basil

1/4 cup of red wine of your choice.

Prep:

Slice tofu into half inch cubes. Dice onions into half inch squares. Press garlic. Loosely Chop basil Leaves

Cook:

Add oil to pan and put on medium heat. When oil is to temperature add pressed garlic and brown.  Then add onions and cook until the outside layer of the onions starts to get translucent.  Next, add salt, pepper, and wine. Cook about 2 minutes.  Add tofu and cook for a few more minutes. Add marinara sauce and chopped basil and simmer for a few minutes. Serve and Enjoy!

Note: The tofu does not really have to “cook.” It can be eaten raw. While cooking it with the garlic, onions, spices and wine you just want to heat it up and absorb some of the flavor.

Serves 2-3
