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.

Time 40m

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
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried basil or 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 cup rice parmesan-style cheese (optional) or 1/2 cup additional nutritional yeast (optional)
salt and black pepper

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.
  • Put tofu, nutritional yeast, mustard, onion powder, basil, garlic, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture reaches the consistency of ricotta cheese. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Spread tofu mixture over the cooked pasta and top with remaining pasta sauce. Sprinkle with vegan cheese or additional nutritional yeast, if desired. Bake until bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish was a complete failure. The tofu cheese was rubbery, and the vegetables were mushy. I'm not sure if I'll ever try this recipe again.

This recipe was a total disaster! The tofu cheese didn't melt properly, and the vegetables were burnt. I'm never making this again.

I'm a big fan of tofu, but I didn't really like this dish. The tofu cheese was too soft, and the vegetables were undercooked.

This dish was really easy to make, but it didn't turn out very well. The tofu cheese was too bland, and the vegetables were overcooked.

The tofu cheese was a bit too soft for my liking. I think I'll try a different brand next time.
