List of Ingredients



• 1 onion, chopped
  
• 2 cups mashed water-packed fresh tofu (firm or extra-firm)
  
• 2 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  
• 1 tsp sugar
  
• 1 tsp dried basil
  
• 1/2 tsp dried dill weed
  
• 1/2 tsp oregano
  
• Additional Italian herbs, optional
  
• Lemon juice, optional
  
• Fresh ground pepper to taste
  
• 1 (10-oz.) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and well squeezed
  
• 16 uncooked manicotti shells
  
• 8 cups spaghetti sauce
  






Instructions



1. Saute onion in small amount of water for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in all ingredients (except shells and sauce). Add more herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
   
   
2. Stuff each shell with the filling. Pack tightly because the shells expand when cooked. Pour approximately 2 cups sauce in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place manicotti shells in dish side by side. Cover with remaining spaghetti sauce.
   
   
3. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
