1/4 cup boiling water |
6 sun-dried tomatoes |
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 (14 ounce) package reduced-fat firm tofu |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
18 cooked jumbo pasta shells |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 3/4 cups chopped onions |
1 cup chopped green bell pepper |
1 cup chopped red bell pepper |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
cooking spray |
3/4 lb low-fat turkey breakfast sausage, casings removed |
1/4 cup red wine |
2 tablespoons no-added-salt tomato paste |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon basil |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 (28 ounce) can organic crushed tomatoes |
2 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. To prepare stuffing, combine 1/4 c boiling water and sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl, let stand 20 minutes or until tomatoes soften. Drain and finely chop. Combine tomatoes, mozzarella, and next 6 ingredients (though egg) in a food processor, process until smooth. Spoon 2 tablespoons stuffing into each shell. Set aside.
3. To prepare sauce, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, peppers, and garlic and sauté 6 minites or until tender. Place onion mix in a bowl.
4. Coat pan with cooking spray, return pan to heat. Add sausage and cook 6 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add wine and cook until wine is reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 3 minutes. Stir in onion mix, tomato paste, and next 5 ingredients (through tomatoes), and bring to a simmer. Cook 25 minutes or until sauce is slightly thick.
5. Spread 2 cups sauce over bottom of a 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange stuffed shells in a single layer and top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle two tablespoons parmesan cheese. Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes or until bubbly.
