Ooh, scary word "experiment". It evokes memories of my 5 year old days when I really wanted to see what would happen if I put mayonnaise and grapes into the cookie dough. But now, I am far more wise and experienced and know what I'm doing...right?
Well, I had my doubts but did have a fairly sturdy foundation to build off of. I took elements of 4 different recipes to form my own Vegan Baked Ziti with Peppers.
And, if I do say so my self it was delicious. So delicious, that I forgot to take a picture...boo me, I know. But I do remember the recipe:
8 oz Ziti or any tubular pasta
2 cups chopped onions
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/3 cup of red wine
2 cups veggie/soy cheese
half a jar of tomato pasta sauce
Pre-heat oven to 400
Cook the pasta according to box directions - until al dente
Heat the oil in a skillet at medium heat.
Add the onions and peppers and saute until onions are see through add wine and let simmer for 3 minutes
Mix together, in large bowl, pasta, onions and pepper mixture, soy cheese and tomato sauce
Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 baking pan
Bake for 30 minutes.
Easy! And surprisingly tasty! Hubby did not miss the real cheese! I served it with some of the left over Butternut Squash Soup from the night before.
