Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat fan oven to 180 degrees Celsius. If you are using packet vegan mince, ensure you fry this first to get a good texture.
- 2
In an oven proof dish, combine the lentil pasta, mince/ TVP (no need to pre soak it!) and bolognese sauce
- 3
In a blender, add the silken tofu, some of the water from the jar to help it blend, nutritional yeast and any herbs and spices you would like to add to make it extra tasty.
- 4
Pour the tofu mixture into the dish with the rest of the water and mix well. It should seem wet as the pasta and TVP need water to cook.
- 5
Put in the oven for 25 minutes. While it is cooking, grate the cheese
- 6
After 25 minutes, stir it through (a lot of the water should have evaporated but it should still be moist) and add the cheese on top. Put back into the oven for 20 minutes
- 7
Take it out, wait for it to cool a little before portioning to eat or add to containers for your meal prep! Lasts 3-4 days in the fridge.

Layered Pasta Bake Layered Pasta Bake
This is essentially a baked spaghetti dish. I just happened to have half a box each of linguine and fettuccine when I went to make this tonight. The pasta layers are bound together with a tasty egg and cottage cheese mixture, and using leftover or jarred spaghetti sauce keeps this so easy to make! I used leftovers from my Fuhgitaboudit Spaghetti Sauce recipe (on my page).

Pasta bake. Pasta bake.
I have always had a love of pasta and each time i make this i tend to keep throwing extra things into the mix. I find this very filling always enough to freeze for them times when you either to busy or just dont have time. Once you add some ciabatta to it well it just doesnt get much better than that.

I came across this instant pot recipe and made some changes to it... it called for some red wine as well but I left that out (1cup) you don’t need an instant pot to make this, and you can use different tomatoes . This is an easy Friday pizza night something different. You can use different pasta and add other pizza toppings . -
Queso Taco Pasta Bake Queso Taco Pasta Bake
I came across this recipe on Pinterest and adapted the recipe a bit. I love that the recipe calls for a homemade queso cheese sauce rather than pre-packaged. This recipe isn't spicy (my kids ate and enjoyed it, and trust me, they don't do spicy) but you can increase the amount of cayenne pepper for more of a kick or use hot salsa and pepperjack cheese. You can also use a packaged taco seasoning in place of the seasonings I used. Recipe adapted from: picky-palate.com

No Boil Baked Pasta No Boil Baked Pasta
Something easy, although pretty basic tomato pasta dish. I used fettuccine this time, I found they stick together worse than spaghetti or elbow macaroni, which is what I usually use. But I had half a jar of sauce, half a box of pasta, cheese and that is dang near all you need to make this.Just a note, you can just double this, and use a 9 X 13 baking pan instead, and have plenty. Same oven temp and times.So if a basic pasta dish that's easy is what you need, give this one a try.
