This recipe comes from Barb Overlie, of Lake Crystal, Minnesota. Barb is a VSP or volunteer soy promoter, and has been doing cooking demonstrations with soy since 1982. She finds that Midwesterners are most receptive to soy when it’s combined with familiar foods. Here, tofu replaces ricotta cheese for the filling in the shells. 18 large pasta shells 1 26-ounce jar of your favorite pasta sauce 1 egg 1 (12.3-ounce) package silken soft tofu (mashed) 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided ¾ cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 1. Cook pasta shells according to package directions; drain. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 13 X 9 X 2 inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. In large bowl, beat egg. Stir in tofu, 1 3/4 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese and the parsley. 2. To assemble, spread 1 cup of the sauce in baking dish. Fill cooked shells with tofu/cheese mixture. Arrange filled shells in the baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over shells. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. 3. Bake, covered with foil, until bubbly, about 45 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 6 servings.

Fall is in the Air. I immediately start thinking about warm and cozy foods and drinks. Soyfood ingredients are so versatile and easy to use. Soups are a natural for soyfoods and perfect for cool weather days. Whether you are making the soup from scratch or using a canned soup, think about adding shelled Edamame, TSP/TVP (Textured Soy Protein(TSP) or Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) same product), Miso (for added umami flavor) or if a creamy soup is desired, add plain soymilk. What’s great about all these products, they are packed with protein. Protein makes you feel full longer so with the added protein in the soups you will make it to dinner without eating lots of empty calorie snacks. Another incredibly easy idea…hot chocolate! All you do is take chocolate soymilk, add to a microwavable cup, heat for 1 or 2 minutes and voila! Perfect hot chocolate for cool evenings while watching a favorite movie or TV program. As we are all cooking at home a lot more these days, think about ways to add just a little soy to every meal. From my kitchen to yours, Linda Funk The Soyfoods Council
