If you have never tried tofu, this is a great place to start. This recipe is a perfect replacement for an easy pasta instead of boxed mac and cheese. Kids love it and adults do too. It is full of protein from the tofu and antioxidants from the spices. If you don’t have unsweetened plain plant milk, you can sub with the cooking water.
