Lemon-Basil Ricotta Stuffed Shells in a Champagne Cream Sauce: Spicy basil noodles. I guess I’m one of the lucky ones whose first experience with tofu was really, really good.

spicy basil noodles

I was working late at the bakery when my fellow baker-in-shining-armor suddenly appeared. He presented me with a white styrofoam take-out box that was groaning under the weight of at least two pounds of sesame tofu from what I came to know as one of my favorite restaurants.

One tragic day, the restaurant closed. There came a day, years later, when I felt gutsy enough to try and re-create the basil noodles at home. Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie with Gruyère-Popover Crust.

Weekday Vegetarian: Spinach and Avocado Salad with Garlic Mustard...
