Silken Tofu Ricotta

Kelly Jensen
This creamy silken tofu ricotta for lasagna is great for any dish or filled pasta. This dairy free ricotta recipe is high protein and hearty.  A great lasagna filler, amazing to add to plant based ravioli, or great for a filled pasta like stuffed shells or manicotti.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 12 ounce block tofu
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to a medium mixing bowl. With a fork, mash the tofu and stir all in ingredients together until well combined, and the tofu has the consistency of ricotta cheese.
  • Alternatively you can mix in a blender or food processor for a smoother texture- but I found the ricotta to have the best texture when hand-mixed in a bowl.
