- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 tsp miso paste
- 1 1/3 cups oat milk
- 1 tsp salt

Tomato Sauce
- 600 ml sieved tomatoes
- 200 ml soya cuisine vegan single cream
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp. paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 medium Onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Cook pasta shells according to package instructions. Drain and set aside (add some olive oil so the shells won't stick together)
For the filling:
- Meanwhile, heat a few tbsp of water in a pan over medium heat
- Add onion and garlic and cook for about 3 minutes
- Add more water if the pan looks dry
- Add miso paste and stir well. Remove pan from heat
- Chop cauliflower florets into small pieces
- Add Cauliflower, onion and garlic from the pan and spinach to a food processor or high speed blender along with oat milk and blend until smooth and creamy
- If your blender or food processor is not that big, split everything in 3 to 4 loads and blend seperately or simply combine ingredients in a bowl and blend with a hand held blender
- Transfer filling to a big bowl and add starch, salt, pepper and dried basil. Mix well
For the tomato sauce:
- Heat a few tbsp. of water in a pan over medium heat
- Add onion and cook for about 2 minutes
- Add garlic and cook for another minute
- Mix in all the remaining ingredients and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until sauce is hot
Assembling:
- Preheat your oven to 200Β°C
- Divide tomato sauce into two big baking dishes (or 3 depending on your size - I use 2 that are ca. 30 x 20 cm big)
- Stuff each shell with a small tbsp. of filling and place them side by side in the baking dishes
- Drizzle ca. 1-2 tbsp. olive oil over each baking dish with shells
- Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes
- Let everything cool down for ca. 5 minutes before serving, add basil leaves and ENJOY!
