Vegan Manicotti with Spinach and Bean Ricotta - Food Fam Recipes

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups white beans ((canned or cooked and drained. I used navy beans. Any other white beans, including cannellini, baby limas or great northern beans are fine))
• 1/2 cup raw cashews ((soaked in water for 30 minutes, then drained))
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large onion ((finely chopped))
• 2 cloves garlic ((minced))
• 12 oz spinach ((I used frozen chopped spinach, but fresh works too. Make sure you chop it into small bits before using))
• 8 oz vegan mozzarella shreds ((divided))
• 2 tbsp parsley ((minced))
• 8 oz manicotti ({or cannelloni))
• 1 recipe marinara sauce ((approx 3 cups))
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
