Vegan Vittles: Pasta Bake

August 19, 2011 Leave a Comment

Inspired by easy what’s-in-the-fridge recipes like this one, I threw together a pretty good pasta bake in about 20 minutes the other day. The pasta I used was left over from my latest batch of vegan mac & cheese.

Ingredients 

8 oz. pasta

1 jar (14 oz.) of spaghetti sauce

7 oz. sliced baby bella mushrooms

2 frozen grilled chick’n patties

1/2 c. water

2/3 of a package of Daiya mozzarella-style shreds 

Directions

If your pasta isn’t cooked, cook it until its al dente and drain. Preheat your oven to 325 F.

Saute chick’n patties in a pan for 4-6 minutes. Remember that these will continue to cook when your bake is in the oven.

Stir noodles, sauce and cheese in a mixing bowl.

Dump this mixture in a greased 9″x13″ baking pan. Add a layer of mushrooms.

Pour the 1/2 c. of water evenly over the whole pan. This will help your bake from drying out excessively.

Cut your chick’n patties in to small pieces. Distribute them evenly over the top of the bake.

Bake your bake (really, this might be a casserole) for 15-20 minutes at 325 F. Check on it half way through to ensure it’s safe from burning. Easy peasy!

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

Speaking of which, dang it’s good to have my mental health back consistently after the past couple of years. The anxious parts of my personality are just chilling, rather than constantly screaming that my work isn’t good enough to share. The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!
