Mmm, Vegetarian Baked Ziti!
I made a fantastic Baked Ziti dish last night. I wish I had taken a picture.
It turned out really well! It wasn’t vegan, but it was vegetarian.
I used:
- Ronzoni Ziti
- Ricotta Cheese
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Classico Florentine Spinach and Cheese Sauce
- Morning Star Farms Beef Crumbles
- Clove Garlic
- Onions
- Salt/Pepper/Oregano
Boil the water for the pasta.
Preheat the oven for 375*
Saute the garlic and onions in a little olive oil. I added the diced tomato, and let it sit for a little bit.
Then I added the Classico sauce and about 1/4 cup of water. (It will cook itself out)
Let the sauce cook and thicken, and then add the beef crumbles, and seasoning.
Once the pasta is cooked, add a tablespoon of butter to it.
The sauce should be done by then, so add the sauce to the pasta.
Mix it all together and move it to a baking dish.
Add the ricotta cheese to the pasta and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
I usually cover the dish with aluminum foil to keep in the heat.
Bake for a good 30 minutes or until all your cheese is melted with a crispy outer ring! (The best part!)
Enjoy!
