my kids love Macaroni & Peas
Grilled Marinated Tofu Salad
Macaroni & Peas is simple and super economical
1 small onion diced
1 can low salt baby peas
1 can tomato sauce
1 bag ditalini pasta
1 tsp olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
put a large kettle of salted water on to boil for the pasta
sautee onion in olive oil in a large sauce pan or small soup kettle
add peas (liquid & all) and tomato sauce to the onions simmer on low heat until pasta is cooked
Boil pasta according to package direction's, add to tomato peas & onions stir untill well mixed, ladle into soup bowls
Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil & if you like sprinkle with a bit of parmesian cheese
Marinated tofu is also super easy,
Extra firm tofu
favorite vinegrete salad dressing (I use good seasons made with olive oil & balsamic vinegar)
green salad fixings
Drain the liquid from the tofu, place back in original plastic tub and slice in 1/2 inch slices, pour your favorite vinegrette dressing over the tofu gently seperating the slices, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1/2 hour.
You can grill them in a grill pan or outside on charcoal or gas grill, make sure that the grill very hot & well oiled so that the tofu does not stick
serve over green salad with a nice crusty artisan bread or pita pockets
my kids (14 & 5) love both of these dishes
I know of a great recipe for macaroni and cheese that replaces half the pasta with cauliflower. That way, kids get a treat that's also full of vegetables.
