TOFU SHIRATAKI FETTUCCINI ALFREDO
Since going low carb, I'm always on the look out for something new that isn't going to blow my diet. I used some non-dairy products to lower the cholesterol as well. I did use some Romano cheese instead of the Parmesan. I also added a cut up piece of cooked turkey bacon to my dish. Having found these Shirataki low carb noodles was a God-send. I got the recipe from the back of the Tofu Shirataki package. This product has no cholesterol, sugar or gluten and is Vegan to boot, now I can have my noodles and eat them too.

Steps:
- Heat the canola oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet or wok, and add the tofu. Stir-fry until the tofu is lightly colored, three to five minutes, and add the garlic, ginger and chili flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute, and add soy sauce to taste. Add the spinach and stir-fry until the spinach wilts, about one minute. Stir in the sesame seeds, and add more soy sauce to taste. Remove from the heat.
- Using tongs, transfer the spinach and tofu mixture to a serving bowl, leaving the liquid behind in the pan or wok. Drizzle with the sesame oil, and add more soy sauce as desired. Serve with rice or other grains, or noodles. You may also use it as a filling for whole wheat pita bread.
SHIRATAKI NOODLE FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
A lower cal/fat version of the classic creamy noodle dish, using my favorite tofu noodles! You can also use regular noodles with the sauce of course. This makes enough sauce to cover an added meat or vegetable.

Steps:
- Drain tofu noodles. Using a scissors, cut them into 3-4" pieces. Parboil for 2-3 minutes to remove the "Shirataki" aroma from the noodles.
- Combine ricotta, cream cheese, half and half, margarine, parmesan, salt and pepper and mix slightly.
- Spray treat a small non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Over medium heat, add the garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes, until it becomes fragrant.
- Add the tofu noodles and heat through, stirring. Add pre-cooked meat or veggie here, if desired, and heat through.
- Reduce heat to low-medium. Make a reservoir in the center of the pan with the noodles surrounding. Add the sauce mixture and let it soften. Mix it up and stir it into the noodles.
- Heat through and serve!
SPINACH ALFREDO SAUCE (BETTER THAN OLIVE GARDEN®)
Better than Olive Garden®! Top with grilled chicken on fettuccine pasta for a complete meal or use as a dip for bread sticks. Delicious rich and creamy spinach Alfredo everyone will love. When I make this dish, everyone raves over it! Add more spinach if you're a spinach lover or leave it out if you're not a fan. I like adding lots of garlic! For a thicker sauce, add more cream cheese.

Tips:
- Use firm or extra-firm tofu for the best texture. Extra-firm tofu will hold its shape better in the sauce, while firm tofu will give you a creamier texture.
- Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess water. This will help the tofu absorb the flavors of the sauce better.
- Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. A jarred sauce is fine, but if you have time, making your own Alfredo sauce is definitely worth it.
- Don't overcook the tofu. Tofu is a delicate protein, so it's important to cook it gently and carefully. Overcooked tofu will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the dish immediately. Alfredo sauce is best when it's hot and creamy, so serve it as soon as it's made.
Conclusion:
This Tofu Shirataki Spinach Alfredo is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to sneak some extra veggies into your diet.
