Purely Plant-Based Baked Ziti

I love me some cheesy baked ziti. That’s why I needed to come up with a plant-based version of one of my favorites, and I think I did pretty well. The time listed here doesn’t include the sauce, ricotta, and parmesan batches, so add those times in if they’re not already made. This one isn’t a quick after-work recipe, so reserve this for a lazy Sunday or a special holiday dinner.
