Mindy's Penne with Tofu Basil Pesto

Here's a great dish from Mindy (who also co-recommended this month's book selection). She's a great cook and a newly welcomed Siren of Sherwood. It's scrumptious and even better, easy to make!

1 cup fresh basil
1 cup soft tofu (6oz)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
pepper & salt to taste
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup onion, minced
4 cups hot cooked pasta (8 oz. uncooked)

Combine the first 7 ingredients in food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Keep this mixture warm in a saucepan. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil and sauté the mushrooms and onions. Toss everything in a large bowl and serve!
