Vegalicious

I know, I know — I teach a low fat diet, but I am about to load your plate with a guilty pleasure — manicotti!

While my vegan manicotti recipe is much lower in fat than the traditional rendition of this recipe, I shamelessly use vegan cheese in it. Since I make this dish only about once a year, I have no regrets doing it.

My husband loves it. And it is especially perfect for those times when you are entertaining non-vegan Italian and comfort food loving guests.

When I made manicotti to take images, I had a couple of non-vegans over; one of them admittedly said that she could not live without cheese. When she was tasting my manicotti, I did not tell her what was in it — impressively, she enjoyed it!

I love to pour extra spaghetti sauce on top of my manicotti and highly recommend you do the same — it makes it all taste divine.
