SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was very, very plain and needs a lot of herbs to give it any flavor. Also, I would recommend putting the spinach in the food processor first.
this was really good...i added some shredded vegan monterey jack cheese from follow your heart (vegan gourmet), as well as some vegan parmesan to the ricotta mixture. this recipe made enough for about 10 large shells.
