Ooey-Gooey Vegan Baked Ziti
"My Ooey-Gooey Baked Ziti is just how I always loved it: ooey-gooey, creamy, cheesy pasta topped with a simple sauce that’s bursting with flavor and more melted cheesy goodness on top, along with some crunchy bread crumbs. It’s still one of my husband's favorites, which makes his eyes light up. Just like Mom’s always did. Enjoy!..."
