Mori-Nu makes a product that used to be named Tofu
Helper but is now called Tofu Hero. It is a vegan packaged herb mix that
is carried by many health food stores. The Italian Herb Medley style
turns tofu into a great stuffing for pasta shells, manicotti and
lasagna.
1 package Mori-Nu extra firm tofu
1 package Mori-Nu Tofu Hero, Italian Herb Medley style
1 and 1/2 cup frozen cup leaf spinach
2 large cloves fresh garlic
Jumbo Shell pasta
Home made or canned spaghetti sauce
Soy cheese, mozzarella style
Mince the garlic cloves and place in a large skillet
with few tablespoons of water. Saute for a couple of minutes. Add 1/2
cup water and the Tofu Hero to the skillet. Add 1 box Mori-Nu tofu and
mash with a fork into tiny crumbles. Add the frozen spinach and cook
uncovered for about ten to twelve minutes until most of the water is
gone.
Cook jumbo shell pasta according to directions on the box. Drain pasta
and then fill with the tofu-spinach mixture. Oil a large baking dish and
spread a layer of spaghetti sauce along the bottom. Place filled shells
in the dish and add some more spaghetti sauce to almost cover the
shells. Top with grated mozzarella soy cheese. Bake covered at 325 for
forty minutes.
