kids’ mac & tofu.

kids’ mac & tofu

1 jar marinara
1 block firm tofu

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and place the pasta back in the pot. Return to low heat. Immediately add the marinara and crumble the block of tofu with your hands above the pot. Stir the mixture together and heat for about a minute. Remove from heat and serve.

The is just a base recipe, feel free to add chopped cherry tomatoes, steamed cauliflower, chopped spinach, fresh sage or basil, kale, hemp seeds or whatever vegetables your kids will eat. This is a fast, easy meal that my kids never complain about; I even like it. It also makes a large batch so it’s easy to heat up the next day.


*I use this recipe as a substitute for Hamburger Helper® or mac & cheese. It’s a quick easy kid’s meal loaded with fiber and protein.
