Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 (12 ounce) package soft silken tofu
8 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
½ cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces portobello mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
1 cup frozen spinach, thawed
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Blend tofu in a food processor until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add Swiss cheese, Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard; mix well to combine.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, spinach, green bell pepper, onion, and garlic; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir tofu mixture into the skillet. Cook until flavors combine, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
  • Spoon tofu and mushroom mixture over macaroni in the casserole dish; mix to combine. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden, about 30 minutes.
