Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 onion
2 garlic cloves
two 28- to 32-ounce cans whole tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
a 12-ounce box jumbo pasta shells (about 30 shells)
a 10-ounce package silken tofu
3 scallions
1 large egg
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
a 15-ounce container nonfat ricotta
3/4 cup grated part-skim mozzarella (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Finely chop onion. Mince garlic. Drain tomatoes and reserve juice. Coarsely chop tomatoes.
  • In a 12-inch skillet cook onion and garlic in oil over moderate heat until softened. Add tomatoes and reserved juice and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, 40 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Remove skillet from heat and cool sauce. Tomato sauce may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • In a 5-quart kettle bring 4 quarts salted water to a boil for shells. In boiling water cook pasta until al dente and drain in a colander.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Drain tofu. Finely chop scallions. In a small bowl lightly beat egg.
  • In a food processor blend tofu, scallions, egg, parsley, ricotta, and 1/2 cup mozzarella until smooth. Spread about 1 cup tomato sauce in a baking dish. Fill each pasta shell with about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture and arrange shells in one layer, cheese sides up, over sauce. Pour remaining tomato sauce over shells and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella. Bake shells in middle of oven 30 minutes, or until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted.

These stuffed shells are a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed these stuffed shells. The shrimp and crab filling was surprisingly good.

The stuffed shells were a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less cheese.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stuffed shells turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These stuffed shells are a great make-ahead meal. I made them the night before and baked them the next day. They were just as good as if I had made them fresh.

The shells were a bit overcooked, but the filling was delicious. I would recommend cooking the shells for a shorter amount of time.

The stuffed shells were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices to the filling.

The stuffed shells turned out great! I used a different type of cheese for the filling, but it still tasted delicious. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who loves Italian food.
