How to Make Spinach Tofu Manicotti

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add manicotti shells and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside.
  2. If using fresh spinach: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add spinach and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until wilted. Immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain well and squeeze out excess water. Finely chop.
  3. If using frozen spinach: Thaw and squeeze out excess water. Finely chop.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Press and crumble the tofu. In a large bowl, combine crumbled tofu, shredded mozzarella, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, eggs, chopped spinach, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Gently fill each manicotti shell with the tofu mixture. Arrange the filled shells in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the manicotti.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
  10. Dot the top with butter pieces.
  11. Bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
  12. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
