Baked Ziti by Forks Over Knives


We are very excited to try our first ever (well ok from the cookbook instead of their blog) recipe from Forks Over Knives tonight :) I will upload a pic once its out of the oven. http://www.forksoverknives.com/ 
Their site/blog has tons of info on plant protein VS animal protein, they also have a movie out as well that explains it even better. Enjoy!


Baked Ziti

1 large yellow onion, peeled and diced
4 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons chopped oregano
One 28 ounce can diced tomatoes
Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound whole grain ziti noodles
1 batch no cheese sauce (recipe below)

No-Cheese Sauce:
This sauce is great with the casserole and can be used for recipes like mac and cheese or baked ziti. Best of all, it takes about 5 minutes to put together.
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 large red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons toasted cashews(optional)
1 tablespoon tahini(optional)
1 cup nutritional yeast
Sea salt to taste
Combine everything in a blender and puree until smooth and creamy.
**we also added nutmeg, we didnt use the cashews or tahini**
