What you'll need to prepare:* 1 box ziti noodles
* 1 jar marinara sauce
* 1 block extra-firm tofu
* 2 tsp lemon juice
* 1 tsp garlic salt
* 1 tsp black pepper
* 2 tsp basil leaves
* 2 tsp olive oil
* 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
* 1 block Galaxy Vegan Mozzarella cheese
Begin by boiling water for the ziti noodles and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
To make the 'ricotta': Unwrap tofu, wrap in a kitchen towel and place under heavy weight to remove excess water, about 5 to 10 minutes. Once the tofu is ready, unwrap and place in a separate bowl to make the 'ricotta.' Mash the tofu block in the bowl with a fork until it is crumbled. Add the lemon juice, garlic salt, black pepper and basil leaves and stir together. Add the olive oil and Nutritional Yeast, stir together and continue mashing until it is the consistency of ricotta cheese. In a casserole dish stir together cooked ziti noodles, marinara sauce and 'ricotta' cheese mixture. Shred desired amount of vegan 'mozzarella' cheese over top the ziti, cover and cook for about 30 minutes in preheated oven, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
