Mason jars. Eat Yourself Skinny! Skinnytaste. Chinese Crispy Fried Tofu with Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe. It feels like yesterday, but the memory is fresh.
Eons ago, I happened to spot some "white slabs" sitting next to my all time favorite Paneer, in the aisle of the grocery store I frequented. See, I was this good girl who went shopping for my mom during the weekends, all on my own, so that my mom can relax her feet. At times I used to buy other stuff that caught my fancy apart from the list my mom provided. So on this particular day, this packet with something called as "tofu", went into my basket.
I, in fact, thought it was probably another "brand" of Paneer and even wondered at the peculiar name ( ..those naive days!!!) Fettuccini with Tomato-Cream Sauce. Pasta anyone??
Anyone that knows me knows I have a love/hate relationship with pasta. I LOVE it, but my booty sure hates me for it. I rarely ever make pasta dishes anymore since I’ve tried to cut back on my carb intake, but when I saw this recipe in my August issue of Cooking Light, I just had to try it! Tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic and cream cheese….umm yes please! The pasta is lightly coated, yet super flavorful and very filling.
