Garden Ricotta

2) In your food processor combine the onion, tofu, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and miso paste.
3) Pulse the mixture until it's right at that point of smooth but with a little bit of texture.
4) Add the basil to the mixture and pulse it just a few more times, getting the basil mixed in.
