List of Ingredients
Tofu-Stuffed Pasta Shells
15 uncooked jumbo pasta shells
1-1/2 cups silken firm tofu
3 tablespoons grated Romano cheese, divided
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian diced tomatoes, drained
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/4 cup dry red wine or vegetable broth
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Recipe
Cook pasta shells according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a
blender, combine the tofu, 2 tablespoons Romano cheese and garlic; cover and process until smooth. (Add 1 tablespoon of water if mixture is too thick.) Add spinach; process until blended. Drain shells; stuff with tofu mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, tomato sauce and wine or
broth. Spread about 1/2 cup sauce in an 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. baking
dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange stuffed shells over
sauce. Top with remaining sauce.
Cover and bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with
mozzarella and remaining Romano cheese. Bake 8-10 minutes longer or
until shells are heated through and cheese is melted. Yield: 5 servings.
