Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a rolling boil, then add the jumbo pasta shells. Cook them until just al dente, about 7-9 minutes, then drain and toss with olive oil.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Drain the tofu and combine in a food processor with nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Pulse until slightly smooth.
- Gently fold the tofu ricotta with canned pumpkin and nutmeg in a bowl, and adjust seasonings.
- In a frying pan, heat olive oil and sauté the onion until softened. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add all-purpose flour to the mixture. Whisk and gradually add coconut milk until the sauce thickens.
- Blend the sauce with salt and pepper until smooth.
- Pour some béchamel sauce into the baking dish, stuff each shell with pumpkin ricotta, and arrange them in a single layer.
- Drizzle remaining sauce over stuffed shells and sprinkle with fresh sage leaves.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.
