8 ounces silken tofu |
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese |

1 -2 garlic clove |
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
1 1/2 teaspoons italian seasoning |
4 whole roasted red peppers, canned |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook the fettuccine in salted water as per package directions.
2. Place sauce ingredients in the Vita-Mix container in order specified except for Italian seasoning.
3. Add 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend and secure 2-part lid.
4. Select VARIABLE speed #1 and gradually increase spped to #10; then to HIGH.
5. Allow the machine to run for 3 to 4 minutes or until heavy steam pours through the lid opening.
6. Adjust salt and pepper to suit personal taste.
7. Serve over freshly cooked fettucine, sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
