Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 F
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the shells and cook according to package instructions, drain and set aside
In a high speed blender, add the tofu, lemon juice, chopped parsley, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and salt
Blend until smooth
Add the spinach into the tofu mixture
Stir the spinach carefully into the tofu mix and set aside
Pour two cups of tomato sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish
Scoop the tofu filling into the shells, and place each into the baking dish
Drizzle remaining tomato sauce on top of shells, bake in preheated oven 40-45 minutes, or until sauce is bubbling and shells are heated through
Sprinkle with basil and serve warm
Notes
The filling is smooth and creamy, and emulates the texture of ricotta perfectly, with only a slight tofu taste
I use a paper towel to squeeze the spinach, it should feel dry to the touch otherwise the filling may turn out too liquidy
To make this dish even fancier you can top with some grated vegan mozzarella in the last 15 minutes of baking
