VEGAN BAKED ZITI #vegan #baked #healthyrecipes #dinner #food

Veggie lover Baked Ziti is a simple weeknight feast! This consoling pasta dish is made with cooked ziti noodles, marinara sauce, cashew cheddar and discretionary vegetarian "meat". Gluten free and Nut free choices.

This formula was one of the main I at any point presented on my site about 3 years prior. It stays one of my most famous plans for an explanation, and consistently gets rave surveys from everybody who attempts it!

I chose to give it a crisp look with new photographs, just as improved guidelines, however the formula itself is unaltered from the first.

You're going to adore this Vegan Baked Ziti! It's ideal to make when organization comes more than, a vacation supper, or only a bustling weeknight since it's SO EASY.

Ingredients :

Cashew Cheese

• 1 1/2 cups raw cashews
• 3/4 cup water
• juice from 1 large lemon (2-3 tablespoons)
• 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 garlic clove
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

The Rest

• 25 ounces marinara sauce ( 1 jar)
• 2 1/2 cups vegan ground "beef" OR 2-3 sliced vegan sausages, optional

Instructions :

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.
2. Make the Cashew Cheese sauce: Soak the cashews in boiling hot water for at least 5 minutes. Drain the cashews and add them to a high powered blender along with the water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic, onion powder and salt. Blend until smooth, scraping the sides down as needed. Set aside.
