Como fazer Tofu Baked Ziti

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the 24 ounces of tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the ziti pasta according to package directions, omitting salt. Drain well.
While the ziti is cooking, add the drained silken tofu and egg white to a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the tofu mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the chopped spinach, remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley, nutmeg, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the drained ziti to the tofu mixture and gently combine.
In a 2-quart casserole dish, layer 1/4 of the sauce on the bottom.
Add 1/3 of the tofu-ziti mixture on top of the sauce, spreading evenly with a large spoon or spatula.
Continue layering with the remaining sauce and tofu-ziti mixture, ending with a layer of sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese (or vegan cheese alternative) evenly over the top.
Cover the casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes.
