Ingredients:
baked tofu (you can bake your own- if you'd like those directions I'd be happy to share)
*When I'm making a quick dinner I prefer to use frozen tofu steaks, and my favorite is featured in the photos below.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
raw spinach
whole wheat pasta (whatever amount you want)
tomato (or other bright colored veggie!)
All you have to do is reheat the tofu in a skillet. At the same time, sautee the garlic in the olive oil until browned. Once browned, add in a LOT of spinach- it shrivels up so the more the merrier! Let this simmer for awhile until it's to your liking. Heat up some of the whole wheat pasta you made earlier (or go ahead and make some before you start all of this), add another veggie (I chose tomato), and wa-la! You have yourself a SUPER healthy meal, with every type of food you need...fruit/veggie. healthy fats, whole grains, and protein. And, it's truly delicious.
the tofu steaks I mentioned earlier. They are about $4 at our local health food store and so worth it- they come in a pack of four!

my favorite whole wheat pasta- one of the only kinds I've found that doesn't fall apart and get gross! This one is from Trader Joe's.

ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is tofu? I've never really seen it at the grocery store or anything. What does it taste like?
Mmmmmm....YUM! Going to have to give that a try! I love Tofu! My hubby....not so much.

that looks delicious and i'm a sucker for spinach! i'd love to get the baked tofu recipe if it's not too much trouble :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not vegan or anything, I LOVE meat... But one of my old roommates left two packages of tofu once upon a time, so I decided to be adventurous and try it out. Ever since then, I like tofu! I'll eat it every once in a while just because, but sometimes it's scary because I don't know what to do with it! So thanks for the idea, I will def. try this out! :)
