Ingredients:

1     package       fettuccine - (12 oz)
2     tablespoons   non-hydrogenated margarine
3                   garlic cloves
1     tub           silken tofu - (16 oz)
1/2   cup           low-fat milk, rice milk, or soymilk
1     teaspoon      salt
                    Freshly ground black pepper
                    === TOPPING ===
                    Grated fresh Parmesan cheese
                    = (or Parmesan-style soy cheese)

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

* Note: A combination of green and white fettuccine makes this a very attractive dish.
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Cook the noodles in rapidly simmering water until al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes, then drain.
In the meantime, heat the margarine a small skillet. Add the crushed garlic cloves and saut� over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are golden. Remove from the heat and discard the garlic cloves.
Combine the tofu and milk in a food processor and pour in the melted margarine from the skillet. Process until completely smooth and creamy. Combine the hot, drained noodles and the sauce in a large serving bowl and toss together. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper and toss again. Serve at once. Pass around Parmesan cheese to whoever wants some.
This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
Comments: Pureed silken tofu has an ultra-creamy, custardy texture that is perfect for sauces such as this, or as a base for dips and salad dressings. Look for it in the produce section of any supermarket.
