Barely defrost spinach (so that it retains that lovely green color) but do *not* drain. Mash tofu with a fork, add the rest of the ingredients except spinach and blend with a hand blender until completely smooth. Add the spinach and mix well. Heat and spoon over hot pasta or chill for a yummy dip. Serves 4 huge portions (my kids are big eaters) at 317 calories and 2.4g fat; 6 servings at 211 calories and 1.7g fat.
