Cashew Ricotta and Getting Back On Track
My dinner for the past two nights has been lasagna. I made it with spinach, lasagna noodles, canned spaghetti sauce and Ricotta Cheese made from tofu, soaked cashews and spices. It was so good I'm going to make it again for Christmas dinner because I think even the carnivores would like it :)
This morning after getting on the scale I decided to start eating healthier since I've been binging on junk food an awful lot. So for breakfast this morning I made a smoothie with kale, a banana and an apple, a bit of orange juice and ground flaxseed. That and a pot of chai tea is pretty satisfying.
Here's the recipe for the Cashew Ricotta:
1 cup raw cashews
1 pound firm or extra hard tofu, drained and crumbled
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves roasted garlic
1-2 tsp dried basil
1-2 tsp salt
Blend everything in a blender or food processor until well mixed and creamy. Add a package of thawed frozen spinach and a bit of pasta sauce, layer in a casserole pan with lasagna noodls pour the rest of the pasta sauce on top then bake at 350 for about an hour.
