 Since I'm allergic to dairy, I substitute soft silken tofu for the ricotta/cottage cheese and pecorino romano for the parmesan. When I made these before, I used mozzarella too. Also, you can stuff all sorts of other veggies in them. I finely chop shrooms and summer squashes and stuff them in.

 It turned out really well, but I ended up with a heap of leftover ricotta/spinach mixture, so I froze it for another time (there just wasn't any more room in the casserole dish for more pasta lol). It was very zimmis...I'm having some leftovers for dinner tonight!
