Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups onions, diced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 cup mushroom, sliced
4 (12 ounce) packages frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 (10 1/2 ounce) box firm tofu
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
8 ounces manicotti
2 cups marinara sauce

1
Saute onion and garlic in 3 quart saucepan until golden. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
2
Add spinach to pan and heat through.
3
Puree tofu in a food processor. Add parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and blend. Pour mixture over spinach. Mix well and heat through.
4
OPTIONAL: boil manicotti in 4 quarts of salted water for one minute, and bathe in cold water. (This is the step per the original instructions, but I've never found it necessary to cook manicotti for a casserole -- and they are much easier to stuff when dry).
5
Stuff each manicotti with about 1/2 cup of the spinach mixture. Place in casserole dish and cover with marinara. Place foil over dish and bake 45 minutes.
