LeisureguyIt recently occurred to me that silken tofu could serve as a good base for a sauce. Here's my first essay:

Eat This Podcast@Leisureguy Sounds pretty good. Very little choice of tofu locally. There must be some in the main Asian store across town but it is a long way to go.
If you use a blender or food processor, you could make it with regular tofu — if too thick, just increase (say) lemon juice.
My wife, leery of tofu, loves a chocolate tofu pie (recipe link in the linked post of another chocolate tofu). Mori-Nu Silken tofu is usually not refrigerated since it is shelf-stable. Use the Soft version.

Seitansbraten@etp @Leisureguy If you can't find tofu use butterbeans instead. It's not exactly the same of course, silken tofu is very versatile. It's great for Alfredo or Carbonara
Interesting idea!! I think next time I might use a mix of butterbeans and tofu (and use a blender).
Thanks for the thought.
@Leisureguy @etp yes, I like this mixture too. :)
@Seitansbraten @Leisureguy Do you buy your butter beans ready cooked in a jar? Not easy to find them in Italy.
I either cook them myself (soak overnight, drain, add lots of water, simmer until done) or buy them already cooked. A pinch of baking soda in the cooking water will decrease cooking time and ensure tender beans.
@etp @Leisureguy depends, but I always have dried ones in stock. I'm pretty sure you can buy them in italy. Or switch to cannellini beans, like for Pasta e fagioli
