Move over, lasagna. My cheesy vegan pesto stuffed shells are in town and they're takin' over. Jumbo shells stuffed with homemade basil pesto & herby tofu ricotta, then slathered in a ragu style sauce makes for the most deliciously comforting pasta dish you didn't even know you needed ... until now.
