Notes
Looking for a smooth ricotta; use a food processor, add drained tofu, basil, nutritional yeast, parsley, oregano, and salt. Process until smooth.
If soy isn't in your pantry, your diet, or is an allergy try one of these alternatives with the same ingredients that are added to the tofu:
- Cannellini white beans
- mash or blend easily creating a smooth texture
- Cashews
- soak overnight, drain, then blend until smooth
- Rice
- cooked rice can be blended with plant-based milk until smooth
- Cauliflower
- cooked and blended, keep it easy by using frozen cauliflower rice that can be microwaved
