Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup soy milk
1/4 tsp splenda
2 tsp onion flakes -- flakes
1/4 tsp curry powder
4 cups firm tofu -- drained well
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup yogurt -- whole milk
5 tsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
grated parmesan cheese
pork rinds crushed

About once a year I call Mom and ask her yet again for the mac and cheese recipe she always made me when I was little. It's not anything like the ultra-cheesy stuff most people call mac and cheese but I love it anyhow. Since I'm trying to be lowcarb, here's an attempt at a pasta-substitute version...

Mix together the soy milk, splenda (which is to take the edge off sometimes-bitter soy milk), dried onion, and curry powder. Set it aside so the onion can absorb some of the soy milk. In a large bowl, gently toss together the cubed tofu, grated cheddar, and yogurt. Put the cubed tofu mixture in a large baking dish (you'll need one with a lid). Dot with the teaspoons of butter, then pour the milk/onion mixture over. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle some parmesan and crunched pork rinds over the top. Cover with glass lid and bake at about 350°F-180°C for about 40 minutes (you can take off the lid for the last 5 minutes to get the rinds a little crisp).
