Tofu Manicotti

[veganmadre]

Yum-tastic. Soo soo soo good! This stuff is fabulous. Get the message?

 

Anyway, no pictures because I can't take the credit for this recipe. It's Mr. Michael Hobson's and he got it from the "new farm vegetarian cookbook" - probably the best cookbook in the world, in my humble opinion. Ok, enough chatter, here goes it...

 

Tofu Manicotti

Filling:

Saute 1 cup chopped onions in 3-4 Tbsp. margarine or oil.

Add:

1 1/2 cups chopped cooked spinach. (frozen works great)

2 1/2 cups mashed tofu

salt and garlic to taste

 

Stuff 1/2 pound of manicotti noodles and place them in a greased

baking pan, with a little sauce in the bottom. Cover with the

remaining sauce.

 

(Note: I don't bother boiling the manicotti, I just stuff them

straight out of the package and they soften during baking, with the

liquid from the filling and sauce.)

 

Tomato Sauce:

2 cups tomato sauce (I like Muir Glen Organic Chunky Tomato Sauce)

1 cup water

1 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. basil

1/8 tsp. marjoram

1 tsp. salt

1 Tbsp. oil

2 tsp. sugar

 

Simmer 20 minutes and pour over the stuffed noodles. Cover with

aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. If you want

to top with shredded Follow Your Heart Vegan Cheese, put the cheese

on and put the pan under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until cheese

melts.

Good book.

My girlfriend grew up on The Farm, and her mother contributed some of the recipes to that book.

Really? The noodles cook completely? Would this also work for lasgana & stuffed shells, do you think?

Hmmm. Good question...I presume it would work but have never tried it. If you do, let us know!!
