EQUIPMENT

  • 10" x 7" x 2 ¾" Bakeware

INGREDIENTS
  

  • 28 shells jumbo pasta
  • 2 cups vegan ricotta
  • 1 bunch Italian parsley
  • 2 cups favorite marinara sauce I like RAO
  • ½ cup vegan cheese I use Miyokos Pourable Cheese
  • fresh basil to garnish

METHOD
 

  • Cook pasta per package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water, and set aside.
  • While pasta is cooking - Mix the Italian parsley and the vegan ricotta in a small mixing bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Pour 1 cup of the marinara sauce at the bottom baking dish.
  • Then generously stuff the pasta shells with the vegan ricotta filling and arrange them in the baking dish over the marinara sauce.
  • Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the shells, and top it off with vegan cheese.
  • Next, place the stuffed pasta dish into the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

NOTES

  • Cool the shells: Rinse the cooked shells under cold water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to handle.
  • Evenly layer the sauce: Ensure the bottom of the dish is well-coated with sauce to prevent the shells from sticking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Arrange the shells in a single layer so they cook evenly.
  • Cover the dish: Keep the dish covered with foil during baking. The foil helps to cook everything evenly while keeping the moisture in.
