Baked Ziti with Zucchini and Olives

Like I've said before, the weather has been a little erratic in NJ lately. I made this baked ziti a few days ago when it was chilly. The recipe is from the Supermarket Vegan. It's made with tomatoes, zucchini, olives, rice pasta and herbed breadcrumbs (gluten-free, of course!). I topped it off with a little Daiya cheese. I think I made too much pasta, because after I mixed everything together it seemed a little light on veggies. It was super tasty though! Served with a salad, this is a perfect meal!

Baked Ziti

This is actually baked penne because I haven't been able to find gluten-free ziti. I used multi-grain pasta. I had used it a few weeks ago and said I didn't really like it, but I had another box in the cabinet and didn't want it to go to waste. I must not have cooked it thoroughly last time, because it tasted really good this time and worked really well in this dish. I made up a batch of cashew ricotta and mixed it with chopped mushrooms and tomato sauce. I topped the whole thing off with Daiya tapioca cheese. There's no way to tell from looking at this dish that it was wheat, soy, dairy and meat-free. It looked like any other baked ziti and was absolutely delicious. And as always, I served it with a side of greens.
