Pasta Pilaf
1 pkg (10.5 oz) silken tofu
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp each salt, pepper, and garlic powder
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 Tbs dried parsley
3 cups cooked tiny pasta (alphabets, orzo, etc.)
1/2 cup finely diced onion
Purée the silken tofu, water, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a blender until smooth. Add the Italian seasoning and dried parsley and whirl just to mix.
Put the pasta and onion in a medium mixing bowl. Pour the tofu mixture over it and stir to coat the pasta.
Put the pasta mixture into a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat for 4 or 5 minutes, until the bottom of the pasta is starting to brown. Stir with a spatula. Cook 4 or 5 minutes longer, stirring frequently, until pasta pieces are golden and separate from each other. Serve at once.
