Vegan Spinach and 'Ricotta' Cannelloni

Cannelloni is an absolute favorite in my house. I have recently switched to a vegan diet and am also on a zero waste journey to make everything from scratch and eliminate all plastic packaging. This was adapted from several different online recipes to suit what I had in the fridge and pantry. I used homemade tofu made from soy flour which I find crumbles very easily. If you use a firmer storebought tofu you can crumble it with a few pulses of your blender.
