Manicotti deliciousness...


So Sunday was Father 's day. As many of you have probably guessed, I have started dieting hardcore which means my recipes for vegan delight must wait until my boring rabbit food diet is through.


But, even the best dieters know, you can't be good 100% of the time so I whipped up a Italian favorite in celebration of Jake being a wonderful daddy and boyfriend. Good job baby :)


Vegan Manicotti


Dry, uncooked Manicotti shells (check the label!)


Red pasta or spaghetti sauce


Shredded mozzarella


Filling:


2 cubes extra firm tofu


4 tablespoons chopped garlic


2 teaspoons salt


2 tablespoons of Italian Seasoning


1/4 cup shredded vegan mozzarella


In a bowl, use an electric mixer to whip together all of te filling ingredients. They should become creamy. Load into a gallon size ziplock bag and cut off a corner to create your own little makeshift pastry bag.


Fill each manicotti shell (half on one side, half on the other), and lay them 1 layer deep in a casserole dish. When all the shells are filled, cover with a layer of spaghetti sauce and sprinkle with "cheese".


Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes.


Serve!!!


With Love,
