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

1 pound ziti noodles gluten free if needed
25 ounces marinara sauce ( 1 jar)
2 1/2 cups vegan ground "beef" OR 2-3 sliced vegan sausages, optional
1 bag non-dairy mozzarella cheese shreds, optional for topping

Instructions :

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.

Spoon the cashew cheese on top of noodle/sauce mixture and stir gently, leaving pockets of cheese intact.
