• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a large casserole dish. In a pot of boiling salted water cook the pasta al dente. Drain and set aside. In a saucepan or skillet brown the ground beef and drain off the excess fat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened. Add the canned tomatoes, spices, and salt to taste and heat thru. Toss the pasta and the sauce together and pour into the prepared casserole dish. Bake for 20 minutes While the pasta is baking, make the parmesan style cream sauce. In a small saucepan sauté the garlic in the oil until softened and fragrant. Add the cornstarch (or rice flour) and onion powder and cook while stirring for 2-3 minutes. Add the dairy free milk while whisking. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add the nutritional yeast flakes and salt to taste. Remove from the heat and stir in the vegan butter. Drizzle some or all of the sauce on the baked ziti and broil for 5-10 minutes, keep a close eye on it, until bubbly and the edges of the pasta are slightly browned. Serve with any remaining sauce.

GLUTEN FREE BAKED ZITI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil then add a couple Tablespoons salt (optional) and pasta, then cook until pasta is al dente (do not overcook as the pasta will continue to cook in the oven.) Drain.
• Meanwhile, add 2-1/2 cups marinara sauce, ricotta and parmesan cheeses to a large bowl then stir to combine. Add drained pasta then mix to combine. Pour mixture into a medium-sized baking dish (I used an 11x7.5") then top with mozzarella cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until sauce is bubbly. Uncover then bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to fully melt cheese (cheese does not need to brown - just melt.) Warm remaining marinara sauce then scoop Baked Ziti onto plates, spoon warm marinara sauce over top, and serve.

DAIRY-FREE BAKED ZITI (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Place the raw cashews in a bowl. Cover with boiling water (the 1 cup of water will be used later, just use enough boiling water to cover the cashews) and let sit for 30 minutes. You can make the pasta and tomato-meat sauce in the meantime.
• Preheat the oven to 350F. Cook the pasta according to package instructions - but subtract a minute or so from the boil time so the pasta is al dente.
• In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil along with the Italian sausage and onion. Cook, breaking up into small pieces until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, marinara sauce and diced tomatoes. Cook until heated through for another 5 minutes or so. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Drain the cashews and place in a high-speed blender. Add 1 cup of fresh water along with the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until completely smooth. Add the eggs and blend until smooth. (The sauce will look very liquidy and runny but will set up in the oven.)
• Add a scoop of the tomato-meat sauce to the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Spread out evenly. Mix the pasta with 1/3 of the remaining tomato-meat sauce. Pour half of the pasta into the pan. Drizzle over half of the cashew sauce followed by another 1/3 of the sauce mixture. Add the remaining pasta followed by the rest of the cashew sauce and tomato-meat sauce.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

ZUCCHINI NOODLE BAKED ZITI WITH ROMESCO

Steps:

• Boil water and add over cashews to completely cover, let sit for 30 minutes. In the meantime, make the romesco meat sauce.
• Using tongs, carefully, lightly roast each sweet pepper over an open flame on your stove top. Rotate the pepper, just for a couple of minutes for each pepper until you have light blisters. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
• Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop peppers (discard the inside and seeds), toss the peppers in your food processor with the rest of the ingredients and pulse until well blended into a sauce. Set aside.
• To a skillet, add olive oil with chopped onions over medium heat and lightly cook until translucent for a few minutes, then add in the ground meat breaking it up with a spoon. Cook, while mixing well and adding in seasonings until the meat, is cooked (no red/raw meat is showing anymore).
• Add romesco sauce over top of meat and reduce heat to low until well coated and slightly bubbling.
• Roughly chop spiralized zoodles (I made mine into the large ribbon-like pieces, but any shape will do!), into bite-size pieces so it's less stringy. Add to pan and with tongs, coat completely in the romesco meat sauce. Turn heat off.
• Finish up the cheese by draining cashews, and adding them to a blender or food processor with lemon, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt and egg. Mix until well blended - it's okay if it's very loose, it will stiffen up in the oven.
• Time to assemble!
• Add a layer of the romesco meat sauce with coated zoodles to the bottom of your baking dish (8-inch should work well!)
• Then pour in a layer of the cashew cheese. Repeat this with the cashew cheese left last on top of the entire ziti.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes, optionally add more nutritional yeast to the top mid-way and broil for a little more color for just a minute or two - watch carefully. Serve!

GLUTEN-FREE DAIRY-FREE BAKED ZITI

Steps:

• Heat a large pot of water on the stove top and bring it to a full boil. Add the chopped cauliflower and onion and cook until the cauliflower is very tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Strain the cauliflower and onion into a colander, then transfer to a high powered blender. Add the remaining ingredients for the cauliflower sauce to the blender and blend until completely smooth. Set aside until ready to use.
• Note: This portion of the recipe can easily be made up to 3 days ahead of time. Simply store the sauce in an air-tight container in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
• Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to turn golden-brown, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• Scoot the onion off to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Allow the beef to brown for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip to the other side and allow it to brown another 2 to 3 minutes. Use a spatula to chop up the meat into smaller chunks, then add the rest of the ingredients for the sauce to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a full boil. Cover and reduce the heat to a gentle boil. Cook for 10 minutes (or up to 50 minutes at very low heat if you have the time), stirring occasionally.
• While the sauce is cooking, cook the noodles according to the instructions on the package. Strain into a colander then immediately run cold water over the noodles. This removed excess starch and also stops the cooking process.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Transfer the cooked noodles to a large (13" x 9") casserole dish, followed by the meat sauce. Gently stir until the noodles are well-coated in sauce.
• Pour the creamy cauliflower sauce over the casserole and smooth into an even layer.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cauliflower sauce has a golden-brown hue to it.
• Allow the baked ziti to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

GLUTEN-FREE BAKED ZITI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat a pan to medium and add the ground beef to brown.
• Add the chopped onion, red pepper and spices to the ground beef.
• While the beef is browning, boil your pasta. I recommend boiling for 8 minutes, then testing to see if it is al dente. You are going to be baking this, so the pasta will continue to cook and soften while it bakes. You do not want soggy pasta. No one likes soggy pasta.
• While the pasta is cooking, add the two jars of sauce to your ground beef mixture and let simmer until the pasta is cooked.
• Add a ladle full of the sauce mixture to the bottom of a lasagna pan.
• Add a layer of pasta to the lasagna pan, a layer of sauce on top of the pasta and then dollop with ricotta and sprinkle with mozzarella.
• Continue layering pasta, sauce and cheeses until you have filled the pan and/or run out of ingredients.
• Cover with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes or until hot throughout.

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• When the pasta is cooked, turn off the stove, add heavy cream and grated parmesan and mix. Add more salt if needed. Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over the pasta.
• Bake at 450°F for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and browned.

Steps:

• While the pasta is cooking, preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
• Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onion, and cook until the meat is browned and the onion is translucent, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Stir in the marinara sauce and remove from the heat.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and gently stir together taking care not to break up the noodles too much. Pour half of the pasta and sauce into the baking dish. Top with dollops of half of the ricotta cheese. Repeat with the remaining pasta and ricotta. Stir everything just slightly to mix in the ricotta a little.
• Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is lightly browned.
