INGREDIENTS:

1 lbs. large pasta shells
1 batches of my tofu ricotta with kale (make a double batch if cooking all the pasta shells)
8 cups oil-free marinara sauce
1 batch of my faux Parmesan

PREPARATION:

1-Follow the instructions on the pasta box and cook the pasta shells accordingly.  Once cooked drain in a colander and rinse under cold water.
2-Make the tofu ricotta with kale and set aside.  You will need to make a double batch if using all the pasta shells.  Best to make the day before.
3-Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
4-Spread 2 cups of the marinara sauce evenly in a 13×9” baking pan, then arrange the stuffed shells atop the marinara sauce.
5-Using a spoon or knife, stuff the cooked pasta shells with the ricotta filling, until all the shells have been stuffed.
6-Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the pasta shells.
7-Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes, until hot and bubbling.  Once done, take out of the oven, uncover and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.  Sprinkle top with faux Parmesan and enjoy.
