Ingredients
  

  • 1 Piece onion
  • 1 Pack ground meatless beef
  • 1 Jar Marinara
  • 1 Block tofu
  • 5 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Pack vegan mozzarella
  • 1 Pack rigatoni

Instructions
 

  • Cook rigatoni as directed in package. Rigatoni takes 10-12 minutes. A bit longer than your usual. Strain, run through water and set aside.
  • Make vegan ricotta by blitzing tofu and salt. Set aside.
  • Make sauce by scattering aromatics. Add vegan ground meat. Add jar of marinara, I love to rinse the jar with water add my seasonings, give it a good shake and add this water to the pan. We need liquid because we will be popping this in the oven.
  • Assemble by tossing the ricotta in the sauce, too with vegan mozzarella and vegan ricotta. Broil on high for 5 minutes or more. Up until the cheese melted or browned. Oh another tip is to drizzle oil on the vegan mozzarella for optimal browning.
  • let it rest and maybe too with some herbs or infused oil or reduced balsamic. Enjoy!
