Ingredients
For the "Ricotta"Tofu, extra firm, 1 block *Lemon Juice, .5 lemon yields Garlic, 1 clove, minced Salt, .25 tsp Basil, 10 leaves Olive Oil, 2 1tsp Nutritional Yeast, 4 tbsp For the shellsJumbo Shells, 3 oz Francesco Rinaldi Tomato & Basil pasta sauce, 1.25 cup
Tofu Ricotta (first)
Drain and press the tofu (if you don't know how to do this yet, just google it. It makes a HUGE difference in the consistency of the tofu) and mush it in a large bowl. Add lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper, and chopped basil. Mush again. Add olive oil, stir with a fork, and add nutritional yeast. Mix with the fork and cover, put it in the fridge.
All the while: boil your pasta shells according to box directions. Drain the pasta and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Pour the majority of the spaghetti sauce into a glass 9"x13" baking pan. Take a shell and put in a heaping spoonful of "ricotta". (My recipe makes two yummy rows of five shells each) Sauce the top of the shells, s&p, and cover the pan with foil. Bake for at least 25 minutes before taking the foil off and finishing with close to ten more minutes in the oven. Let cool for ten minutes.
