A creamy and flavorful non-dairy ricotta alternative, perfect for spreading or as a dip.
Crumble the tofu into a large bowl using your hands until it resembles ricotta cheese.
Ensure the tofu is well-drained to achieve the right texture.
Add the lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Mix in the chopped basil leaves and olive oil, stirring with a fork until well combined.
Use fresh basil for the best flavor.
Add the nutritional yeast and mix thoroughly with the fork.
Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor, so adjust the amount to your liking.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Chilling the mixture helps the flavors meld together.
Serve as a spread, dip, or filling, and enjoy!
Pair with your favorite crackers or use as a pasta filling for a delicious meal.
