Baked Pasta With Tofu Cheese (Vegan) image

More vegan comfort food! I modified this recipe from the Whole Foods Web site. In place of (or in addition to) the mushrooms try black olives, vegetarian pepperoni slices, bell peppers, artichoke hearts...whatever you wish. Works well with gluten-free pasta. Serve with salad and garlic bread.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces small whole wheat pasta shells
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 (16 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 (10 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 (10 ounce) package silken tofu
1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Cook pasta in boiling salted water according to package instructions. Mix mushrooms into marinara. Drain pasta well and transfer to a 7-x-11-inch baking dish. Stir in olive oil and a cup of the pasta sauce. Set aside.
