Valerie,
I add quite a few things to the tofu to give it more flavor and a little flour to firm up the texture so it is more like cheese. You will find my ricotta recipe here:

Your version of Brandi's shells look great, btw.

Mmm those are making me hungry!
Oooh WOW! That looks like an incredible meal. I love stuffed shells but I've never actually made them, can you believe that? Craziness! Must change that soon. Beautiful photos!
I've never made stuffed shells before. Definitely something to keep in mind. Thank you!
You won the Project GreenBag recycle bag!! Please email me your shipping info easyecotogo at gmail dot com
Those shells look deliciously tasty! Looks like you played a blinder on your first go...well done!
Thank you. Thank you Valerie! You are so sweet! I gave you some idea's to spice things up in these shells over on my blog, but the possibilities are truly endless. You could make southwestern shells next with black beans and rice too!!

Valerie here is a direct link to my answer to your question.
If you still cannot get to it, I will just write it here...:)
Mmm...stuffed shells! I love stuffed shells, and it's great for entertaining because you can do everything ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven to bake when people come over :) I use the cashew ricotta recipe from Veganomicon and it works great for me.
There is a really good recipe for tofu ricotta in 500 Vegan Recipes, if you can get your hands on that. It uses tofu and cashews, if I remember right. Stuffed shells are really great -- like lasagna, but faster :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Yours looks really good. I'm glad to have found it.
Yum! Tofu is so good for stuff like that. Glad to hear you discovered it. And what a great photo! I can never get mine close up like that.
hey nice job, i need to branch out and use tofu in more ways like you guys, thanks for the inspiration, i thank brandi also if she was YOUR inspriration:)

Have you tried tofu ricotta on pizza yet? It is amazing! I also use it as a buffer for my jalapeno poppers believe it or not! So good. You add some vegan cheese with the tofu ricotta, and some green chili's, then stuff it in the peppers and wrap it with a vegan bacon strip and bake it..so tasty!! You can sub morning star chicken for the cheese too....
Yipes, Valerie, I just read a comment you posted on my Pasta with a Kick on February 13th! Nothing like me staying on top of things. You wrote some very sweet things and asked a question. So, I've finally responded... Thanks again for stopping by!
Looks super duper yummy! I too have yet to make tofu ricotta but will get to it soon...
Helloooooo?

Echo......
yeah, where are you?
Ahh I love stuffed shells! I used to eat them with ricotta all the time! I didn't even think of using tofu as a substitute. Must try this. :)
Thank you ladies for you sweet comments about my stuffed shells and for the new ideas as well. Of course, I got my inspiration for my good friend, Brandi. She's so creative and spunky! (You should visit her blog if you haven't already!) Thanks Vivacious! :)
And Blessed Mama, don't you worry about a thing! Oh and I've the greatest tip in the world for taking up-close pics for you... Find a button on your camera with a flower on it and press it. It is the "macro" button and it will allow you to take crisp, focused pictures of very small or close-up things. I LOVE the macro button! Try it out! You will see! :)
Vegan pasta dishes are a perfect weeknight dinner, your Italian shells look delicious :-)
