Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pasta - jumbo pasta shells package
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • ½ onion - white onion, chopped
  • 24 ounces spaghetti sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • 12 ounces plant based sausage Italian Field Roast Sausage, pack of four, not sponsored, I just love this sausage
  • 8 ounces mushrooms
  • 1 cup broccoli - cut into small florets
  • 8 ounces dairy-free mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • You will need a 8" x 8" or 8" x 10" casserole dish.
  • Cook the pasta according to package directions and set aside.
  • Put the 'cheese' in a food processor and pulse into smaller pieces (if you have a shredded type). I like to do this do be able to spread the cheese even thinner and get a better melted effect.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large skillet.
  • Field Roast Sausage is a large 'sausage'. Put the 'sausages' in the skillet and brown on all sides. Take out of the pan and set aside.
  • Heat another tablespoon oil in the skillet.
  • Add the onion and saute until transparent, about 10 minutes. Set the cooked onion aside.
  • Heat the last tablespoon of oil in the large skillet.
  • Saute the mushrooms until the liquid is released and almost gone. About 15 minutes.
  • Cut the sausage into large chunks and the put in a food processor and pulse until the sausage is processed into very small pieces. It will be delicious in the pasta shells.
  • Steam or boil the broccoli for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Put the spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, onions, 'sausage' and broccoli back into the skillet. Add the ½ cup water and stir.
  • Do not add the pasta or cheese.
  • Cook at medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • Put ¼ cup of the skillet's sauce in the bottom of the casserole.
  • Add about half of the cheese into the sauce and mix well.
  • Stuff the shells with the sauce mixture and lay in the prepared casserole There will be about 2 layers. Depending on the size of the casserole.
  • Pour the rest of the sauce over all of the shells. Sprinkle the remaining cheese all over the top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove and serve.
