In medium bowl, combine spinach, onion, mashed tofu, salt and nutmeg. Fill each shell with about 2 tablespoons of mixture. Pour about 1 cup of spaghetti sauce into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Arrange stuffed shells in dish. Cover with remaining sauce. Cover casserole and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
