Awhile back, I decided to combine some of my favorite foods into vegan deliciousness. This is what I came up with. After several different dinner parties, and the reactions from those who attended, included my very finicky grandma Momo, I know that it is, indeed, delicious. I hope that you decide that tofu is the way to make alfredo from now on. And honestly, it is much cheaper and much easier than actual alfredo.
These are the necessary ingredients. Except olive oil. I forgot to put that in the picture.
Preparing a pre-made pizza crust with olive oil and rosemary and garlic.
This is the spinach alfredo sauce in the blender.
This also makes an awesome dip.
The pizza when it is done. Oh man, so good.
Ready made crust, I use a normal pizza crust (none of that paper-thin crap)
2 Tbl Olive Oil
1 Tbl Rosemary
1 Tbl Garlic Salt (or garlic powder if you're watching your sodium intake)
Sauce: (this is going to make 2 batches of sauce. make two pizzas and double the rest of the ingredients if you like, or just save the other half of the sauce for dipping later)
1 block firm Silken Tofu (yes, you have to buy the Silken version)
2-3 cloves garlic
1 handful fresh basil
1 tsp crushed red pepper seed
1 cup spinach
1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast (look into this Super Food folks!)
Salt and pepper to taste
Topping:
4 Cups spinach
3 Roma tomatoes, sliced
Italian seasoning to taste
1) Pour 2 Tbl Olive oil on pizza crust. Spread around. Top with rosemary and garlic. Cook in oven at 425 degrees for 12 minutes.
2) While crust is baking, puree ingredients for sauce together until completely blended.
3) When crust is finished, top with spinach. Yes, it is going to seem like a lot of spinach. It will cook down, I promise. Top with sliced tomatoes. Top all that with Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper if you like.
4) Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees.
5) OMG enjoy!
