Our low-fat cream sauce is packed with protein and fiber thanks to the beans and tofu. It's also really easy to make. All you have to do is combine the white beans, bean liquid, tofu, and onion in a food processor. Spoon the sauce into a pan and let it heat up, then stir some ground nutmeg as the finishing touch. Feel free to scale up the recipe and keep a batch in the fridge for easy access at all times. You'll find that it's absolutely delicious over vegetables, grilled meats, or seafood. Or you can use it as a dressing for weekday sandwiches and salads.
