- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lentils and pasta sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the vegan cheese sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a high-powered blender and puree until smooth.
- Make the vegan Parmesan cheese: Combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor; pulse until flaky. (See Cook's Note)
- Combine the cooked pasta with the pasta sauce and toss to coat.
- Spread half of the pasta in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, then top with half of the cheese sauce. Repeat with the remaining pasta and cheese sauce. Sprinkle the vegan Parmesan over the top.

Steps:
- Add textured vegetable protein (TVP) to a mixing bowl. Pour boiling hot vegan beef stock (or vegetable stock) over the top.
- Stir it in well with a fork. Leave it to sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Add chopped onions and olive oil to a pot on medium heat. Sauté until the onions are softened.
- Add crushed garlic, oregano, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper and sauté for a minute to toast the spices.
- Add the prepared textured vegetable protein (TVP), liquid smoke, soy sauce and tomato paste and sauté for 8-10 minutes until browned.
- Add crushed tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, light brown sugar, salt and ground black pepper and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Turn off heat and set aside.
- Add olive oil to a pot or saucepan and turn the heat to medium high.
- When the oil begins to heat up, add the flour, stirring briskly all the time.
- Fry the flour in the oil for a bit, stirring vigorously and then add the soy milk all at once and keep stirring vigorously.
- Continue to stir until the sauce reaches a boil and then keep stirring until it thickens. It will usually start to thicken a few minutes after it has reached boiling point.
- When the sauce has thickened noticeably, turn off the heat and add dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, salt, ground black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.
- Leave it to cool down (it will thicken more as it cools) while you prepare your pasta.
- Put your pasta on to cook according to package instructions.
- When it's cooked, drain and rinse.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Add the cooked pasta to the vegan ground 'beef' sauce and gently mix it in.
- Add 1 cup of vegan cheese sauce to the pasta and sauce mix and gently mix it in. Transfer the pasta and sauce mix to a 9x13 oven-safe dish and smooth down.
- Pour all the remaining vegan cheese sauce over the top and spread it evenly across the top of the dish.

VEGAN BAKED ZITI
I just kind of threw this together the other night and it turned out to be one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. And its easy! (Also, to the chef who said soy mozzarella isn't vegan, buy the Follow Your Heart brand, it is. There are several vegan cheeses on the market, you just have to look for them.)

Steps:
- Put a pot of water on to boil.
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Put the sausage in the pan and break down into small bite-sized pieces with the edge of a spoon. Sauté until brown.
- As the sausage is browning, salt the boiling water and add the ziti.
- Add the garlic and onions to the pan of sausage and cook together until onions are softened. By this time, the pasta should be done.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Drain the pasta, return to the pot, add the sausage and onion mixture, 1 1/2 jars of sauce, 1/2 of the grated cheese and the fresh basil and oregano. Toss well to combine and pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Even the mixture out in the pan, cover with the rest of the sauce, scatter the torn basil over the sauce and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes, or until everything is bubbling and the cheese is melted. Remove and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
