  12      oz            Manicotti noodles
  16      oz            Soft tofu
     1/2  ts            Dried oregano
     1/2  ts            Dried thyme
   1      ts            Fresh basil -- minced
   2      ts            Garlic -- minced
     1/2  c             Italian parsley -- minced
     1/4  ts            White pepper
                        Salt
   3      c             Marinara sauce

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Cook the pasta for 5 minutes in boiling
water, rinse in cold water, and set aside, making sure that the
manicotti are not stacked or overlapping.

In a large bowl mix the tofu, oregano, thyme, basil, garlic, parsley,
and white pepper. Add salt to taste. Suff the manicotti noodles with
the filling and place into a shallow 8x8" nonstick baking dish. Pour
the Marinara Sauce over the manicotti and bake for 30 minutes, or
until the sauce is bubbling. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.

Garnish with fresh basil or Italian parsley.
