This recipe was so incredible! I honestly think it was the best meal I have ever eaten. You always have the most delicious recipes on KZbin, my boyfriend and our friends can never believe it’s all vegan and so fantastic 🙏🏼

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Cameron, I am so happy that you loved this recipe so much and very flattered to hear you think it was the best meal you've eaten. Thanks for sharing ☺

[@ravanjanae]

does it actually taste like pumpkin? like how strong is the pumpkin favor? i like pumpkin but don't care much for it also LOl

[@rociomontano2069]

@@ravanjanae It depends on how much you put, I guess, but you could make them just with the ricotta and still die of happiness

Hi Wendy! That's so sweet to hear! I am so happy to hear that you enjoy watching my videos with your mom. Thanks for being here :)

[@didderbugakakatie]

Ah what the heck. That is so cute

[@polishgirlnextdoor8447]

Nisha, what I adore about your channel is that even if you are NOT vegan, you can totally be inspired by new flavor combinations that you introduce. On that note, adding sautéed onions to (any kind of) gravy has been flavor changing for me. I cannot go back!

[@chriszebra7806]

Always one. Nisha is vegan. Please remove your false comment.

[@mikhailaquinn3404]

You probably hear this all the time but you should have more subscribers than you do for the quality of the content you put out. Stick with it 💖

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww thank you Mikhaila, you're very sweet! I appreciate your support ☺

[@ssmith3967]

I tried to like this comment, but realized I’d already liked it a few days ago! 😂

[@___InvalidUsername]

Wanted to thank you for all the little hints of a real person you sprinkle throughout the video. Superficially, when first found this channel, it seemed like a lot of the other vegan channels I come across, but the burning you mouth while tasting, joking around with the steam, snacking while on camera- I appreciate it all. Please don't change.

[@shaktiyareacts]

If you don't have vegan store-bought parmesean cheese to add to the ricotta pumpkin mixture, you can make your own parmesean: just pulse together raw cashews, nutritional yeast, and garlic salt in a blender and voila!! Can't wait to try this recipe!! Thinking to make it for Thanksgiving :)

[@thereisanamegoingon7267]

Sunflower seeds and salt works as well :)

[@ManifestingwithIntention]

Thank you! I will make a note of that. I did not use any vegan parmesan cheese and it turned out delicious. I could not imagine it tasting any better! I am salivating!

[@rociomontano2069]

I made a huge mess in my kitchen making this dish but it was totally worth it!! So creamy and delicious...The ricotta is unbelievable, can't wait to make it again. Thank you!!!

[@heidihutchinson8507]

I made this tonight for my parents for dinner and it was SO GOOD! My mom wants me to thank you on our behalf haha! This is my new favorite cooking channel.

[@TinaBetuker]

Made this for our first vegan Thanksgiving and all I can say is YUM! That ricotta! I was so tempted to quit mid-recipe just so I could eat it by myself. Couldn’t find sage leaves so just dashed some ground. Husband is a big fan. Thanks so much!!

[@nancyasante3465]

I’ve made a lot of vegan meals but THIS meal was the best meal I’ve ever made. The best! All the ingredients goes so well with each other. I’m blown away. Thank you so much for this recipe. I can’t wait to make this for Christmas dinner.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Nancy, I'm so happy you loved this recipe so much and enjoyed all the flavors. It's such a fun meal to make for the holidays :)

[@saramedacier5730]

The meal turned out so well I'm still in disbelief along with my family. As a lifetime carnivore who loves cheese, I was skeptical about a meal without either ingredients included. I have been trying Paleo these last couple of years and have enjoyed the journey. Now I'm considering becoming a Paleo Vegan, which is so scary to consider giving up meat, but this recipe has converted me and convinced me that I'll be okay 😆. This meal was so good. Love this recipe. I never knew vegan meals could be so fun. Thanks so much for sharing this 😊 ❤ 😀 ☺

[@lanycera]

You should also check out @avantgardevegan (gaz oakley) here on youtube, both youtube channels are awesome and inspired me to cook so many of their recipes ❤

[@jehovahschild4319]

Thats amazing ❤ Im obsessed with making vegan food and you would love eating at my house lol. There are so many wonderful recipes out there!

[@necropasta]

[@tayaklein1408]

[@StefneMiller]

My family gave this a ten out of ten! I added a bit of spinach to the ricotta mixture before it went into the shells. Massive hit. Thank you!

[@meganmoore3432]

Just made this & I'm eating it right now. It's absolutely delicious! I had to substitute butternut squash puree for the canned pumpkin, but it tastes lovely so I don't think I made too much of a difference. Thank you for sharing!

[@debbysmith5346]

Hiya!! THANK YOU for your post, I was going to ask about the same thing, I have some butternut squashes to use!

[@mariabenjamin8018]

Sometimes pumpkin tastes a little bitter to me so I'm definitely going to try the squash...Thnx!

[@ellerysimpson]

made this for my family as a dish for Canadian thanksgiving and they LOVED it and went back for seconds! Thank you!!! can’t wait to make it again

[@sibelb4152]

Tofu ricotta can be made perfectly with a pastry blender, and saves some cleanup time compared to using a food processor.

[@Matildochka]

OH MY GOD. Just made this. It is INCREDIBLE! I love the lemon in the filling! Everything just goes together amazingly! 😋😋😋

These shells look so good. I’m glad KZbin recommended this older video of yours. I haven’t made it through all of your previous videos yet.

[@the_madhadder]

Made this last night for my day before birthday dinner. It is no doubt one of the best meals I’ve had in a while especially with a sweet white wine to pair with it. I now have the idea to use the ricotta and sauce in a lasagna. Overall, an amazing birthday dinner for me 😁

[@jaysteph3167]

This is day 2-3 of me being vegan. I made the soup( with white beans ) and now this. It’s two things I didn’t like and that’s tofu and coconut . I made this today and you did your big one with this I loved it. I never thought I would enjoy eating tofu or using coconut milk. It was really good. Keeping this recipe in my pocket. If anyone is reading this and don’t have Parmesan cheese fresh use the grated. There’s a vegan version it worked well

[@veerlevanderheide2497]

AMAZING! Thank you so much! Your recipes are helping me go from vegetarian to full on vegan. And the family loved it too!

[@LacuisinedeCeline]

My kind of dish! I love tofu ricotta! I imagine we can use tomato sauce instead of bechamel. Also, i love making ravioli. The filling can certainly be used for that too. Thx so much for your videos. Your charming and happy demeanour always cheer me up. ☺️

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Tofu ricotta is one of my favorite things! It's so flavorful and creamy! I'm so happy you enjoy my videos too - thank you!

[@ingridrajithskysong5369]

Woohoo❣️ this evening I made this dish as a test run for Thanksgiving with a friend of mine who is a new vegan. We are both thrilled to death with this wonderful recipe. It looks elegant and tastes amazing. The only thing I think I will change is I will put the fresh sage and use my immersion blender to blend it all in together. My families remarks were that running into small pieces of fresh sage was a little much for them. It was great for me. My one granddaughter who is an adult is a cheese lover so of course she sprinkled Parmesan cheese on hers. She thinks that she would like it better if it had real ricotta. The rest of us swooned. So success and thank you for all the beautiful work you do.

[@angieniko8844]

[@Greeningermany]

Okay so I am recently exploring vegan recipes and have been loving your recipes. I have made your Red Lentil curry (chef’s kiss good!!), your mushroom stroganoff (2nd chef’s kiss) and now I have spun off on this recipe to great results. First off your vegan ricotta is stupendously good, I had some on toast with sliced tomato for lunch today and it was awesome. So I took your filling recipe and riffed off it by subbing in roasted butternut squash, a splash of truffle oil and I made my own pasta and made giant ravioli. I used your Mushroom Stroganoff as the sauce. If was amazing and my husband had seconds before I told him it was vegan. He was amazed and very complimentary! Thanks for the continuing inspiration and amazing recipes. You have a palate that is very similar to mine, lots of garlic, balanced spices and well seasoned. Glad I found your channel!!!!

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Love this ricotta!🌈 Please don’t use full fat coconut milk, I didn’t read her written recipe last time and learned my lesson. If you only have full fat coconut milk, Lighten the coconut flavor by mixing 1 can full fat coconut milk to 2 parts water as she suggested in the written recipe. This time I’m very happy with the sauce😊

Made this for my non vegan parents and we all loved it! I had bowtie pasta, put a layer of bechamel down, pasta, then piped the ricotta over and spreaded it, added parmesan, then another layer of pasta, bechamel, and parmesan (best to cover the tray or the parmesan on top may not melt).

[@paigetruong1301]

I made this tonight and it was amazing! Thank you!

[@inawilms5186]

Dear Nisha, I love your channel, especially the Bechamel. I'll never use another recipe again. These Pumpin Ricotta Stuffed Shells are my absolute favorite pumpkin recipe. I made it several times and will do so today, but in form of a lasagna since I don't have pasta shells anymore. Another recipe which I really love is your tofu curry with coliflower. It's real comfort food. Greatings from rainy Germany Ina
