Vegan Sausage and Spinach Stuffed Shells

Ingredients

• 12 shells Jumbo Pasta Shells
• 12 oz Vegan Italian Sausage
• 10 oz Frozen Spinach
• 15 oz Vegan Ricotta Cheese
• 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• 24 oz Marinara Sauce
• 2 tbsp Vegan Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2Cook the 12 jumbo pasta shells until they are tender but still firm. Drain them carefully and set them aside.
3. 3While the pasta shells are cooking, cook the 12 oz vegan Italian sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat. Break it apart into small pieces as it cooks until it is browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. 4Thaw the 10 oz frozen spinach completely. Once thawed, squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Then, roughly chop the spinach.
5. 5In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegan sausage, the chopped spinach, the 15 oz vegan ricotta cheese, the 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, the 1 tsp garlic powder, and the 1 tsp dried oregano. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
6. 6Carefully stuff each of the cooked pasta shells with the sausage and spinach mixture. Fill them generously.
7. 7Spread a thin layer of the 24 oz marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed pasta shells in a single layer on top of the sauce.
8. 8Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the stuffed shells. Sprinkle the 2 tbsp vegan parmesan cheese over the top.
9. 9Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. The shells are ready when the sauce is bubbly and heated through.
