Tofu With Gorgonzola And Pesto Food

GRILLED TOFU WITH ASIAGO AND WALNUT PESTO

Steps:

• For the Asiago and Walnut Pesto:
• Place all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Cut the tofu in half diagonally to make 2 large triangles. Cut each large triangle in half to make 4 smaller triangles. Place the triangles, long side down, on a cutting board and carefully cut each into 3 slices. Brush the tofu triangles, on each side, with the extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the tofu for 2 minutes on each side.
• Carefully transfer the tofu to a serving platter. Spoon the pesto over the tofu and serve.

PESTO TOFU PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Stir in spiral pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• In a medium bowl, blend 1/4 cup olive oil, milk, and pesto sauce mix.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place tofu in the skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Remove from heat, and drain on paper towels.
• Place mushrooms into the skillet, and cook about 5 minutes. Stir in the olives, capers, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Mix in the tofu and pesto sauce. Continue cooking about 5 minutes before serving over the rotini. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese and basil.
