Sure-to-Fool-Em Vegan Stuffed Shells

Ingredients

• 1 box jumbo shells
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups spinach, chopped
• 1 package vegan cheese, shredded
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the jumbo shells in the boiling water for 8 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach; cook and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in the vegan cheese, salt, and pepper.
4. Spoon the spinach mixture into the jumbo shells. Place the shells in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the crushed tomatoes over the shells.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the shells are heated through and the sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
6. Garnish with parsley and basil before serving.
