Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray, and start layering your ingredients.

Step 2

Add uncooked pasta, lentils, onion, and red peppers, followed by minced garlic, fresh basil, dry basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Next add olive oil, chopped tomatoes, marinara sauce, and vegetables broth.

Step 3

Use your clean hands or pasta tongs to mix everything until it's well coated. Bake for 25 minutes, uncovered.

Step 4

Take the casserole out of the oven, and give it a gentle stir to prevent the pasta from sticking. Top with shredded vegan cheese and bake for 20 minutes more or until the top is golden and the pasta is well cooked.

Step 5

Serve immediately with fresh basil on top, and if you are feeling fancy, sprinkle with some vegan parmesan. Enjoy!
