Stuffed Shells (or Canelloni)

Perfect dish for batch-cooking – you can keep the shells in the fridge for a few days and just re-heat them in a pan or in your microwave. Or if you are just really, really hungry!


Ingredients (for 2 baking dishs – 6-8 servings)

  • 500g Shell-Pasta
  • 250g organic firm tofu
  • 1 block greek white vegan cheese (e.g. from Violife)
  • 400-500g frozen spinach
  • 1 pan of italian tomato sauce
  • Dried Oregano
  • Salt
  • Soy sauce
  • Olive-Oil
  • 1 small onion
  • Vegan cheese / mozzarella

Preparation

  • Chop your onion and fry in some oil
  • Cook your frozen spinach and add a bit of salt or soy sauce
  • In a bowl, crumble the tofu and the white vegan “feta-cheese”
  • Add olive oil, oregano and give it a good stir
  • Depending on your feta-cheese, it might be already salty, otherwise add some salt
  • Blend your cooked spinach and add to the boil and stir well
  • Give it a taste and add more spices as you like
  • Cook the shells for 5 min in boiling water, then drain with cold water
  • Add about 1-2 cm of tomato sauce in your baking dish
  • Now stuff the shells with the filling – with a spoon or if you want to be quicker, take a piping bag and put them on the baking dishes
  • Once done, you can add some vegan cheese or vegan mozzarella on top, and use up the remaining tomato sauce
  • Cover up your baking dish with aluminium foil and bake for 20 mins at 200°
  • Remove foil and bake for another 20 mins

Now serve on your plates, add some vegan parmesan and enjoy!
