Vegan Ziti With Sundried Tomato Cream Recipes

VEGAN BAKED ZITI

Steps:

• Prepare the pasta: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lentils and pasta sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the vegan cheese sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a high-powered blender and puree until smooth.
• Make the vegan Parmesan cheese: Combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor; pulse until flaky. (See Cook's Note)
• Combine the cooked pasta with the pasta sauce and toss to coat.
• Spread half of the pasta in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, then top with half of the cheese sauce. Repeat with the remaining pasta and cheese sauce. Sprinkle the vegan Parmesan over the top.
• Bake until the top is slightly golden, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped basil and serve.
