Terrific Tofu Stuffed Shells
- 1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (I use Ragu lite)
- 1 (12 ounce) box jumbo pasta shells
- 2 (12 ounce) boxes firm silken tofu (I use Mori Nu lite)
- 8 ounces soy mozzarella cheese (optional)
- 4 ounces vegan parmesan cheese
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon oregano or 1 teaspoon basil (or both)
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- Additional spices
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- chives
- pepper
- Boil the pasta shells according to the directions on the package.
- When cooked, strain and place in cool water or on wax paper; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and spoon approximately 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the pan.
- Shred soy mozzarella cheese in a bowl (if not already shredded).
- Add the tofu, soy parmesan, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, parsley, and any additional spices desired.
- Mix until thoroughly combined (the recipe says a hand mixer works great, but I used my hands).
- Stuff each shell with approximately 2 Tbsp of the soy mixture (I used a mellon baller to stuff).
- Place the stuffed shells in the baking pan.
- Drizzle a little of the spaghetti sauce over each shell.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Let rest for 5 minutes and serve.
- Note: This is totally dairy-free if you use vegan soy cheeses; otherwise it contains the milk protein casein.
