Instructions
For the sauce:
In a medium pan, saute the onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the olive oil until the vegetables are tender.
Add the remaining sauce ingredients, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for at least 20 minutes; uncover and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon enough of the sauce into a greased baking pan to coat the bottom of the pan.
For the filling:
In a large pan, saute the meatless crumbles, parsley, onion, and spices in the oil until heated through; remove from the heat and mix in the remaining ingredients (minus the shells).
Stuff the uncooked manicotti shells with the crumble mixture and place the filled shells in the baking pan.
Pour the remaining sauce over the shells and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese; cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 60 minutes or until the manicotti is tender and the sauce is bubbly. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to lightly brown the top of the manicotti shells.
Recipe Notes
Serve with additional cheese, if desired.
Cover and store for up to one week in the refrigerator.
