Herbed Tofu Ricotta: Add a few tablespoons of chopped basil, parsley or chives, with the other ingredients to make an herb tofu ricotta.
For use when baking: Omit the nutritional yeast and go easy on the pepper.
Spinach Tofu Ricotta:
- Frozen: Simply chop frozen spinach that has been drained and squeezed (10 – 12 oz package). Add it to the finished ricotta and mixing well.
- Fresh: Give fresh spinach a rough chop and mix well (use 6 oz. or so) The spinach will soften a bit as it’s mixed and left out. Alternatively, add it the processor when done and give a few pulses.
