Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F
- Cook pasta until al dente (still a bit firm) and drain when done. While the pasta cooks let's prepare the pan and tofu...
- Prepare a 9x13 inch pan. I use a pyrex pan that does not need to be greased. If needed, grease your pan.
- Prepare tofu ricotta: in large bowl crumble tofu with large fork or hands. Add lemon juice, basil, oregano, rosemary or marjoram, thyme, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast. Mix well.
- By now the pasta has probably been done cooking. To the drained pasta stir in 1 and 1/2 cups marinara sauce.
- Build the pasta bake: Spread 1 cup of marinara evenly over bottom of pan. Add 1/2 the pasta and spread evenly. Add all the tofu mixture and spread evenly. Add all the spinach and spread evenly. Add the remaining pasta (you guessed it--spread evenly). Evenly pour on 2 cups of marinara sauce. Sprinkle with black pepper.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Serve with any remaining sauce heated up. We love to add our homemade vegan parm too!
Recipe Notes
Choose a marinara sauce that you love! We especially like sauces with loads of garlic.
For extra flavor sprinkle some of our homemade Vegan Parm on top!
