    Vegan Rigatoni Pasta Pie

    Rigatoni pie, veganized by using mushrooms in place of ground beef and plant-based cheese.  This is a glorious pasta dish of gooey cheese and crispy edges— comfort food at its finest.

    Prep Time20 minsCook Time45 minsTotal Time1 hr 5 mins

    Sauce
     4 cloves garlic, minced
     ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
     3 cups marinara sauce
     8 oz white mushrooms, chopped finely
    Pasta
     16 oz dry rigatoni pasta
     ⅔ cup vegan parmesan*
     16 oz vegan mozarella
     fresh basil, to garnish

    1

    Sauté the garlic over medium-low heat for a few minutes (either in water or olive oil) until fragrant, then add in red pepper flakes and mushrooms, cooking for another 2 minutes.

    2

    Pour in marinara sauce and heat until sauce begins to bubble.

    3

    Cook pasta according to package instructions, and drain, then toss with the parmesan cheese.

    4

    Preheat oven to 400 F, and put the pan onto a baking sheet (to catch drips), and stand the rigatoni on their ends in a 9-inch springform pan until it is completely filled (you want it to be tight).

    5

    Pour the sauce over the noodles, spreading until the top is even. Bake for 15 minutes.

    6

    Remove from oven, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over surface, and return to oven for another 15 minutes, until browned and bubbly.

    7

    Cool for a few minutes before removing from pan. Serve topped with additional cheese and basil.
