Easy Manicotti Alla Romana

Recipe #282294 | 1¼ hours | 30 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: vigilant20

Originally seen in the Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook.

Posted on: Jan 29, 2008

Ingredients

  • tablespoons olive oil
  • cups onion, diced
  • tablespoon garlic, minced
  • cup mushroom, sliced
  • 4 (12 ounce) packages frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 (10 1/2 ounce) box firm tofu
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • ounces manicotti
  • cups marinara sauce
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Saute onion and garlic in 3 quart saucepan until golden. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
    2. 2
      Add spinach to pan and heat through.
    3. 3
      Puree tofu in a food processor. Add parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and blend. Pour mixture over spinach. Mix well and heat through.
    4. 4
      OPTIONAL: boil manicotti in 4 quarts of salted water for one minute, and bathe in cold water. (This is the step per the original instructions, but I've never found it necessary to cook manicotti for a casserole -- and they are much easier to stuff when dry).
    5. 5
      Stuff each manicotti with about 1/2 cup of the spinach mixture. Place in casserole dish and cover with marinara. Place foil over dish and bake 45 minutes.
