This Vegan Baked Ziti with Vegetables is just $1 per serving and under 200 calories!

Plus, you get the option to add in vegan meat crumbles (or not) and I supplied you with a vegetable swap list so you can choose the veggies you’ll love.

If you don’t need this recipe to be vegan, by all means use traditional mozzarella. And as promised (in the recipe card below) here is my Healthy Marinara Recipe to use in the ziti. You can get store-bought or make your own.

Shopping List for Vegetable Baked Ziti:

• 1 (16-ounce) package ziti or penne pasta
• 3 cups marinara sauce

How to Make Vegan Baked Ziti

You get the option to add in vegan meat crumbles, or skip them all together. Personally I prefer the vegan pasta bake without them, and it saves me money. But I tested it both ways and it’s yummy no matter how you make it.

How to Make Vegan Pasta Bake Recipes:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook the pasta according to directions on package. Drain and add back to the pot.
3. Add 2 cups of the marinara sauce, plus the mushrooms, zucchini, cherry tomatoes and vegan meat crumbles (if using) and mix well.
4. Move the pasta to a 9×13 casserole dish. Top with remaining marinara sauce, and then sprinkle with vegan mozzarella shreds.
5. Bake for 30 minutes until the vegan cheese is melted and the edges are browned.
6. Cut the pasta bake into 8 servings and serve hot.

I love packing my baked pasta recipes with vegetables. It boosts the nutrition, hides the veggies from picky eaters, and boosts the serving sizes too.

This Vegan Baked Ziti with Vegetables is hearty and delicious. You can choose to add in some vegan meat crumbles, or skip them all together.

And you can mix and match the vegetables. Be sure to see above in the "Ingredients" section for vegetable swaps!

Special Tip: I based the nutrition off store-bought marinara sauce. But I did include a homemade marinara sauce from my website Lose Weight By Eating that is healthier and 100% plant based.
