Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb fresh spinach, stems trimmed and well washed or 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed
kosher salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon
12 manicotti
3 cups marinara sauce
1 lb firm tofu, drain and crumble to resemble ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (or a mixture of half Pecorino and Parmesan)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, diced

Steps:

  • bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, and season generously with salt.
  • Fill a medium bowl with ice water and season with salt, as well.
  • Boil the spinach, uncovered, until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon, (do not drain), and immediately plunge the spinach into the ice water.
  • Drain and squeeze the excess water from the spinach, and finely chop.
  • Alternatively, if using thawed spinach, simply squeeze, and finely chop.
  • In the same large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta shells until al dente, tender but still slightly firm.
  • Drain and pat dry.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cover the bottom of a 9- x 13-inch ovenproof baking dish with 1 cup of the marinara sauce.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, evenly combine the tofu, mozzarella, and 1/3 cup of the Parmesan, the eggs, and the spinach.
  • Season with the 1/2 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon the cheese mixture into the manicotti shell and line them up in the baking dish.
  • Cover with the remaining sauce.
  • Scatter the remaining cheese on top and dot with the butter.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.

I thought the sauce was a bit too thick. I would recommend thinning it out with some milk or cream.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my manicotti turned out really dry. I think I may have overcooked it.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter sauce.
