Ingredients

1 lb firm tofu, drained and pressed
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt

10 fresh basil leaves, chopped fine
fresh black pepper, to taste

Preparation

In a large bowl, mush the tofu up with your hands, till it's crumbly.

Mush with hands again, this time you want it to get very mushy so squeeze through your fingers and mush until it reaches the consistency of ricotta cheese. May take 2-5 minutes.
Add olive oil, stir with fork (olive oil is sticky).
Add nutritional yeast and combine all ingredients well.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
