ziti Sandy A

[Guest guest]

IT's a pasta that is round, thin and about 2 inches long. Like a small

rigatoni.

It's also a baked Italian dish. We have some baked ziti recipes in the pasta

folder.

Tofu Italiano Casserole recipe Liz here's my

version

 

Everyone that's eaten this likes it and asks for the recipe.

 

Tofu Italiano Casserole

 

1 lb. tub firm tofu, drained

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

2 or 3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon dried parsley

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 lb. pasta , ziti, spirals, bows or penne (I use 3/4 lb)

pasta sauce (use your favorite)

1 cup cheddar or mozzarella cheese, grated

 

Preheat oven 350 degrees

Boil pasta until al dente, and drain, set aside.

Mash the tofu but leave small lumps. Sort of crumble it up.

Heat oil in skillet and add onions, and garlic and cook strring for a few

minutes, until onion is tender. Add tofu and spices. Cook until everything

is heated and starts to bubble.

Add one cup of spaghetti sauce and bring to a slow boil, turn heat on low

and simmer for 5 minutes.

In a 2 quart baking dish layer half the noodles, 1 1/2 cups spaghetti

sauce, half the tofu mixture and half the cheese. Repeat layers.

Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another few minutes so

casserole crisps on the edges.

This serves about 8 people.

~Tip~ I like to add a little parmesan cheese on top before I bake it.
