Creamy Plant-Based Baked Ziti
A comforting plant-based take on classic baked ziti with a luscious, creamy cashew sauce and hearty extra-firm tofu. This dish delivers warm, savory flavors and a satisfying texture that pairs perfectly with a crisp salad or steamed greens.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Whole Wheat Ziti Pasta
250g Extra-Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
0.7 oz Cashew Cream (from blended cashews)
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Spinach
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Press and crumble the extra-firm tofu. In a non-stick pan, lightly sauté tofu with minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until it begins to brown.
In a bowl, mix the tomato sauce with the cashew cream and nutritional yeast to create a creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta, sautéed tofu, and fresh spinach in a large mixing bowl. Pour the creamy tomato mixture over the ingredients and gently toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
