For the stuffed shells:

Combine all ingredients for the vegan cauliflower ricotta in a blender. Blend until smooth.
In a medium-sized pan, sauté the spinach. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the vegan ricotta. Season with salt and pepper.
Put some tomato sauce in a baking dish, so the bottom is covered. Place the cooked shells in the baking dish and carefully spoon the ricotta spinach mixture into the cooked pasta shells.
