italian style tofu bake

April 7, 2011 by tk

My younger daughter got this recipe from her grandma and wanted us to make it. We did and it was great!

stuff you’ll need:
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves – pressed
5 cups spinach – 5 handfuls
15oz firm tofu – sliced length wise (into 8 pieces)
1 tbls dried basil
8.5 oz jar sun dried tomatoes (packed in oil) – drained and sliced
1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese shredded
2 tbls parmesan cheese grated
pepper – fresh ground

what to do with the stuff:
heat oven to 400
heat oil over medium heat in large skillet
add garlic and cook about 1 min
add spinach and cook 3 min (covered) until wilted and add pepper
remove skillet from heat
lay tofu slices in a single layer in a 9×13 inch baking dish
sprinkle each slice of tofu with a pinch of basil
top tofu evenly with: spinach, tomatoes, mozzarella, parmesan and remaining basil
bake about 15 min (until cheese is melted and bubbling)

*Substitutes:  if you are cutting body fat you would want to serve this with a nice green salad.  You can also do 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup almond or soy mozzarella style cheese.
