Pasta Parmesan

September 22, 2008

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1/2 lb penne, ziti, mostaccioli, rigatoni, or other pasta
* 12 oz soft silken tofu
* 2 cup spaghetti sauce
* basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, chili flakes, nutmeg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 (F). Boil water for pasta. Crumble the
tofu with a fork or hand mixer until it’s the consistency of
cottage or ricotta cheese. Add spices to taste.
Refrigerate until the pasta is done.

Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook until just
done. Drain the pasta and mix with the sauce and tofu. Put
the whole mixture into a casserole and bake, covered, for
about 30-45 minutes or until it’s hot.

This is a great alternative to classic baked ziti. Lots
less fat, and just as satisfying! Serve with a big salad
and crusty vegan bread.

Serves: 4
