Baked Ziti Free PD Recipe

2013-04-11

Kids love this crowd-pleasing pasta bake and so will the chef. It’s authentic in taste and looks just like the real deal. Get ahead of meal time on busy days and prepare this family style dinner a day or two in advance. All you’ll have left to do is pop it in the oven, bake and serve.

    Tell me WHY I haven’t made this before?? So good and easy! Served for my birthday dinner tonight and everyone liked it, especially my 9 month old granddaughter 🙂 my son in law ate it, said it was good but he has soy “issues” so wouldn’t have seconds. Hubby liked it alot and it’s a good thing because I doubled the recipe. Can this be frozen before baking??

    This is so so so good! I made the quick red pasta sauce recipe in the pressure cooker. The tofu is yummy and just like pieces of cheese. Perfection!

    I love this recipe. So easy to make and it tastes just like the ziti I used to eat in my SAD days. I need to make it again soon but there are SO many recipes to try!

    Hi! Would this recipe be ok to halve? I’m sure it would freeze well, but I need to get more containers for that 🙂 Thanks!

    Fantastic! We had it for dinner tonight. It will easily make dinner for 3 nights for me and my husband along with a side salad.

    Wondering about a pasta sauce – I live in PODUNK, no WF within a 6 hour drive.

      Feel free to use canned or jarred tomatoes or puree, this is what I do. Make your own sauce by browning some finely diced onions, diced garlic add pureed tomatoes or tomatoes in puree. You can also add chopped fresh parsley, basil or oregano. There is nothing special about what is in the 365 whole foods sauce. The reason I recommend it is because of what is NOT it it!

    Made this yesterday (I’ve made 8 of Julie’s recipes in the last 2 days!), it makes your house smell soooooooo good, could hardly wait for it to get done cooking but it is well worth the wait.
    I can’t wait to make it again so I can add some mushrooms like Veganinblack suggested! That might be sooner than expected because my niece was eating it for breakfast this morning. I’m really enjoying having this kind of delicious food in the house for others to eat without any guilt or other unnecessary ingredients! 🙂
    Also can’t wait for my husband and niece to start seeing their weight drop while eating food that is so delicious and filling.

    Would you recommend marinating the tofu and then pressing it out again for more flavor?.. if so what type of marinade would you use?

    What I love about your recipes is that not only are they delicious, but very quick and easy. My daughter and I both loved it! I will definitely make this often.

I completed my first 30 days yesterday. Although Julie encourages us to throw away the scale, I’m not yet ready to part with it. I do recognize however that I’ve given it far too much power in the past, letting it determine the type of day/week I’m going to have and my confidence in my… Read more or comment “Jessica D.”

PD for Life!

Protective Diet saved my life. Baked chips entered my kitchen in March 2013 when Julie, the creator of the Protective Diet, suggested I try baking my own from a vegan weight loss group. In May 2013 I went 95% Protective Diet. I had considered my diet healthy as a 14 year vegan and gluten-free for… Read more or comment “PD for Life!”

All The Don’ts PD Has Brought Me

Today is my 2nd PD-versary — I think. I didn’t pay much attention to the actual day because I didn’t really believe I’d ever need to reference it! I know I would not have started on my birthday, so I am going with the day after. I lost 30 pounds the first year, and maybe… Read more or comment “All The Don’ts PD Has Brought Me”
