"Cheesy" Stuffed Shells w/ Herby Red Sauce & "Buttery" Beets and Green Beans

Still cleaning out my pantry...
Turned a bunch of "need to use now" items into an easy, satisfying meal for two! You can skip the baking part of the process if you heat up the sauce before hand, but I like to put it in my handy dandy new digital, conventional toaster oven to bake and keep warm.

"Cheesy" Stuffed Shells w/ Highly Herbed Sauce:

"Cheesy" Stuffed Shells:

12 large shells, cooked and drained

2 t. extra-light extra virgin olive oil
8 mushrooms, sliced
2 c. frozen chopped spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. vegan burger crumbles
1/2 c. soy cheese, shredded
Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning, Basil
Pepper
Pinch of salt

Herby Red Sauce:

3 c. of your favorite pasta sauce (not anything overpowering though)
Tomato, diced
Onion, chopped
1 T. Basil
1 t. Onion Powder
1 t. Itailian Seasoning

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix sauce ingredients in a bowl and pour into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
Sautee all of the ingredients below cooked shells, adding one at a time (soy cheese goes in last) in a skillet on medium heat, until everything is cooked through and incorporated. Stuff shells and place on the sauce pan. When finished, cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
