A classic Italian dinner recipe made-over so everyone can enjoy. Gluten-Free Stuffed Shells with Vegan Almond Ricotta and a homemade sun-dried tomato sauce! A cozy family meal that leaves bellies full and hearts warm!

Gluten-Free Stuffed Shells with Vegan Almond Ricotta | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 A classic Italian dinner recipe made-over so everyone can enjoy. Gluten-Free Stuffed Shells with Vegan Almond Ricotta and a homemade sun-dried tomato sauce! A cozy family meal that leaves bellies full and hearts warm!

The two big pasta dishes in my Italian family were always ziti and stuffed shells, (never lasagna! Is that weird?). My mom tended to make ziti at home just as a normal dinner and my grandmother would be the one to make stuffed shells for special holidays/parties. No matter what form, pasta + cheese + sauce always seemed to be a favorite of everyone! So let's just say with a diet free of gluten and dairy, I haven't had stuffed shells in many...MANY years! (An Italian tragedy!)

Gluten-Free Stuffed Shells with Vegan Almond Ricotta and a homemade sun-dried tomato sauce! A cozy family meal that leaves bellies full and hearts warm!

One of those holidays and/or big gatherings where stuffed shells were served was Christmas Eve/Christmas. Stuffed shells are an easy dish to make for a crowd (and it gives you some damn good leftovers!) It's definitelyΒ under the category of comfort food. A comfort food that will forever remind me of my family. Okay, and it reminds me of feeling super sick (i.e. when I didn't know I had celiac disease!)

Gluten-Free Stuffed Shells with Vegan Almond Ricotta and a homemade sun-dried tomato sauce! A cozy family meal that leaves bellies full and hearts warm!

On a quest to bring back this classic just in time for the holidays some gluten-free stuffed shells needed to happen! The only brand I'd ever found, easily, in stores that madeΒ gluten-free shell pasta was Tinkyada. Tinkyada was one of the first brands of gluten-free pasta I had, but I'd never tried their shells and always wanted to! Then to remedy the "ricotta" cheese to be dairy (scary) free, why not use some Kite Hill almond ricotta! I also decided to go all out on the homemade sauce. We're talking some sundried tomato goodness in there!

Gluten-Free Stuffed Shells with Vegan Almond Ricotta and a homemade sun-dried tomato sauce! A cozy family meal that leaves bellies full and hearts warm!

Although stuffed shells can be a messy dish, these came out pretty fancy! The flavors are all so rich and deep! I was even able to fool my family into thinkings these were not "free-from". When you can do that, you know it's a win! Like I said above, stuffed shells are also such a great leftover or make-ahead dish. So easy to re-heat, making them super freezer-friendly! One of those "housewarming" dishes to give to a loved one or friend in need of a prepped meal they can just heat up.

'Tis the holiday season of warmth and cozy comfort. And 'tis the cold winter months where pasta, "cheese", and delicious homemade tomato sauce is more than needed...weekly! At least now we can say this classic Italian comfort food is a wee bit healthier and gluten-free. Brown rice shells, fancy almond ricotta, sun-dried tomato sauce? Elegant and soul-soothing! You can say this is my 3rd generation "modern" take on this classic staple dish from my family (and now, yours too!)

    IN our home pasta is a staple. I'm gluten free and my daughter is vegetarian, so pasta works for all of us. I was in heaven when I found gluten free, no bake lasagna noodles, life became so much easier! LOL I have not seen tinkyada pasta, but I will be looking for them, theses shells look amazing and it would be another great comfort food to add to our menu!

    Ah! Gluten free, vegan stuffed pasta shells. Oh you have outdone yourself my friend. I remember when I first went gluten free, I assumed that meant no more of my beloved pasta. But I found Tinkyada noodles shortly after and they have been a favourite ever since. The Kite Hill cheese is so good too! I think Miyoko's vegan mozz is better, but I don't think you have it out your way (yet!).

    I loved stuffed pasta shells; when I still lived in Italy, one of our go-to eateries used to serve enormous ones - three were more than enough! I'm totally with you on food this being comforting, plus it's so quick and easy to make too. Win-win!

    These look so delicious. I tried to find a new recipe for stuffed shells to mix it up a little and your recipe is just perfect for that. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Rebecca, I adore sundried tomatoes - they impart so much flavor! You have done a wonderful job incorporating them into this dish! So comforting!

    Actually, I have the same memories of stuffed shells (pre-celiac sickness). Not fun! So I haven't had them in years. I've been on the hunt for Kite Hill products, though!

    Italian is definitely my favourite food. Spaghetti, lasagna, bolognese - you name it, I eat it, lol. I'm so glad I've found healthier options because I would truly miss it! Spending time making homemade is such a pleasure because the final dish is so worth it.
    Love this, Rebecca - I could do a face plant on this plate!
