1 tsp. olive oil
1 1/2 c. chopped onions

1/4 c. olive oil
1 tbsp. honey
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. salt
Grated Parmesan cheese, if desired

Cook manicotti noodles for 8 minutes in boiling water. Drain, rinse, and place on waxed paper to cool, so they are not touching. Saute onion in 1 tablespoon olive oil until soft. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, mash tofu with potato masher. Add sauteed onions, 1/4 cup olive oil, honey, garlic powder, lemon juice and salt. Stir to combine well. Stuff mixture into noodles. Pour 2 cups tomato sauce into 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Lay stuffed noodles over sauce. Top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serves 6 to 8.
