Recipe Description

This cheesy baked dish, packed with spinach and flavored with tasty sun-dried tomatoes, is a great alternative to traditional pizza.

 

Ingredients

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic minced

10 ounces spinach fresh, thick stems trimmed (5 cups packed)

1 package tofu 15 oz. firm, sliced lengthwise into 8 pieces

1 tablespoon dried basil divided

4 sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), drained and thinly sliced

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded, part-skim

2 tablespoons parmesan cheese freshly grated

salt

black pepper ground 

 

Preparation

Heat oven to 400°F.

Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute.

Add spinach, cover, and cook until wilted and tender, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Lay tofu slices in a single layer in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle each slice with a pinch of the basil.

Top tofu slices evenly with spinach, tomatoes, mozzarella, Parmesan, and remaining basil.

Bake until tofu is hot and cheeses are melted and bubbling, about 15 minutes.
