TERRIFIC TOFU STUFFED SHELLS

These are a fantastic substitute for the regular ricotta cheese-filled stuffed shells! My dairy-eating mother said she wouldn't have guessed they were made with tofu if I hadn't told her. I halved this recipe and baked it in an 8x8 square dish and it worked great, although I did have leftover sauce and stuffing mixture. I also omitted the mozzarella soy cheese because I didn't have any on hand, and let me tell you, it isn't really necessary! The original recipe only called for a few spices, but I liberally added more and they gave the tofu mixture a great flavor. Feel free to add more of your own! This is great with a salad and crusty bread. I got the recipe from mleonard on the IBS message boards at www.helpforibs.com, although I tweaked it a little.

Steps:

  • 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.

  • In a large pot of boiling water, cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the prebake cooking directions on the package. Then drain, rinse with cold water to prevent sticking, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a food processor, combine the tofu, onion, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, red chili pepper flakes (if using), nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. Pulse 15 times or until partially mixed. Add the spinach and pulse just a few more times until combined. The resulting texture should be ricotta­-like. Do not over pulse or your ricotta will turn green!
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pour half of the marinara sauce into a 9 × 13 ­inch baking dish, spreading to evenly coat the bottom of the dish.
  • One by one, fill each cooked shell with a generous spoonful of the tofu ricotta filling and place in the prepared baking dish. Continue until the tofu mixture is gone and the baking dish is filled. Sprinkle the vegan cheese (if using) on top.
