Marinara Pasta Bake with Vegan Meatballs is your new weeknight dinner recipe that the whole family will devour. seriously though, most people won’t even be able to tell it’s vegan!
the flavor is delicious and the vegan meatball texture is so on point. good quality ingredients are everything and this is a recipe you won’t want to miss out on.
basically, this is a semi-homemade recipe because i use pasta, store bought marinara and store-bought vegan cheese.
the meatballs are homemade though and that’s what really makes this recipe special.
the vegan meatballs are made with a base of cremini mushrooms and great northern white beans.
although i have not tried subs myself, you could possibly use chickpeas instead of white beans.
the only thing is, great northern white beans are softer and creamier, but i suppose you can always add a tiny bit of liquid if you feel the meatball batter is too thick with chickpeas.
the vegan meatballs bake separately from the pasta bake. they need about 16 minutes in the oven!
then, the pasta bake is going to cook for 12 minutes covered with aluminum foil and about 16-18 minutes uncovered.
after the pasta is done, the vegan meatballs and cheese can be added for a couple of minutes of broiling. this way, the cheese gets nice and melty!
