Yummy Mexican Pasta Bake

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 lb rotini pasta
1 package of soyrizo
1 can black beans
1 can corn
1 small can tomato sauce (8oz)
1 block cheddar soy cheese (I like follow your heart)
small amount of spinach
1-2 tomatoes, chopped
salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder -- all to taste

Directions:

Cook pasta, set aside. Cook soyrizo in a large pan (I used a wok actually) until heated and beginning to brown. Add in corn and black beans and chopped tomatoes. Add pasta to the pan. Now, add tomato sauce and seasonings. Stir all together.

Pour 1/2 of the mixture into a casserole dish. Put a layer of spinach on top of this, and 1/2 or a little less of the soy cheese on top of the spinach. Add the rest of the pasta and the rest of the soy cheese on top.

Bake at 450 for about 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. *Turning on the broiler at the end helps melt the soy cheese better.

Serves: a ton!

Preparation time: about 30 mins

This was my first time using soyrizo and it was quite yummy. I didn't have any spinach so I just left it out, I used Mexican spicy tomato sauce, and fresh crushed garlic instead of powder.

This really was a great recipe, I should have added more seasonings though., But I also ate this with sour cream and it was EXCELLENT. i would definitely make this again, it was pretty easy to make too.

This is a good one. No need to be precise! Would you believe in San Francisco, we couldn't get our hands on a hunk of soy cheese!? My neighborhood was disappointing tonight. So we threw some cashews, nutritional yeast, tahini, lemon juice, and a dab of dijon in the mixer and made our own cheese! It came out great. We decided that corn wouldn't work for us, so black olives would do the trick, but then we forgot the black olives (our fault, not the stores in the neighborhood!), so we went onward and followed the recipe for a total Mexican delight! Hooooray for easy recipes that taste good. P.S. I spilled a pound of pasta on the floor, but i'm not going to mention that. Just make this recipe because it's gooooood!

I made this for dinner last week, and I must say that it was delicious! I'm not a big fan of soy cheese, so I made a nutritional yeast sauce and mixed it in with the pasta (I should've doubled the sauce though). Our grocery store USED to carry soyrizo...they no longer do, so I just used some Boca 'beef' crumbles instead. We will definitely be making this again! Maybe we will add some salsa to it next time...
