CREAMY PIZZA SAUCE AND TOPPING
A delicious healthy alternative to traditional cheese topping. I came up with this because I wanted a pesto type sauce for my pizza that provided more protein and less fat than traditional pesto. Also good as a sauce for pasta.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth - make sure there are no tofu bits visible.
- Spread the mixture on a 16" (approx) pizza crust of your choice. Whole grain crust is healthiest.
- Top with your favorite toppings such as mushrooms, black olives, chopped artichoke hearts, baby spinach, etc.
- If you wish you can sprinkle a little parmesan or other grated cheese on top as well.
- Bake like regular pizza - I use a 400 degree oven until hot in center, about 12 minute.
- Notes: Silken tofu is the kind that comes in the aseptic shelf-stable boxes. As a variation, you can use chopped frozen spinach that is thawed and squeezed dry in place of basil.
