Ingredients

  • 400 g rigatoni pasta
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (marinated in oil)
  • 4 tbsp sun-dried tomato oil
  • 1 x 400g tinned chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 23 cups spinach
  • 1 tbsp grated garlic
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 3/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4 tsp maple syrup
  • 3 cups boiling water (+ 1/2 cup if needed)
  • 2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1 cup vegan cheese (optional, I used VioLife slices)
  • 2 tsp chilli flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160C fan.
  2. Measure your sundried tomatoes, try to avoid adding the oil and roughly cut them up. Give the spinach leaves a rough chop too.
  3. In a deep enough baking dish add all your ingredients, apart from the water.
  4. Mix until everything is well combined. Then, carefully pour in the boiling water. You want to make sure your pasta is submerged in the water, if not, with a spoon gently push them in.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Take your pasta out of the oven and check if the pasta at the top has cooked. If not, give it a little mix so that the pasta at the top goes to the bottom, and vice versa. Add 1/2 cup of more water and bake without the foil for 15 minutes.
  7. Enjoy warm!

    This was crazy easy to make and delicious. Don’t be intimidated by the water. The sauce was not too thin or bland by any means. Even my meat-eater father loved this pasta. Highly recommend. Will be baking almost all pasta like this moving forward.

    I love this recipie!! Was so so fabulous. I used fresh basil. My only note for those making this is to make sure you stir it well. My pan was kinda small and some of the ingredients didn’t get as dispersed as I would’ve liked! Taste was so fabulous. Don’t skip out on the chili peppers!!

    I’m not sure if it’s a misprint, but 2 teaspoons of red chili flakes is ALOT and made this recipe nearly unbearably spicy. I loved the simplicity and flavor, but would recommend limiting the chili flakes to no more than 1/4 teaspoon.

    The first time I made this I used gluten free pasta. And readers, beware, disaster. finished up as mush. the pasta just disintegrated into flour tasting slop. Next attempt I used normal pasta, keeping watch on the timing.
    Great recipe.

    Holy cow. I did not expect this to be this good!! I only had gluten free pasta and was afraid to bake it, so I made the sauce on the stove and added the noodles after about 20 minutes letting the sauce cook. SO GOOD. This was so easy and made a lot – a new meal plan dish I can take for lunch during the week. Thanks!

      Having only made it once, and that being tonight, my only guess is maybe don’t add so much water next time? The sauce came out more on the creamy side for me. I only added the amount of water called for, which wasn’t enough to cover the pasta on the top. But stirring it and baking it a bit longer, as suggested, did the trick for that. Good luck next time!

      Hey Marcia! I’m honestly not 100% sure, these are the ones I use https://amzn.to/39ziGS0 – I did try checking on the comments/description if they are UK or USA cups but I couldn’t find the answer. I’m based in the UK, so I’d guess they’re UK cups. However, whatever cups you have should work as most of the reviews are from USA readers. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. Parita xx

    This. was. AMAZING! The pasta on top never really gets completely submerged, and therefore not cooked al denote. The stirring and extra cook time is necessary, I found. Or maybe stir it after 30 minutes then continue to bake for the remainder? A definite go-to recipe! Thank you!

    Looks great. I would leave out the spinach in ours. My husband grew up in Italy and spinach was always overcooked by his family, so he can’t stand spinach in dishes now. I love violilfe. I would either use violife feta or a cashew-based cheese, like the Very Good cheese, because I like the way it tastes when it’s baked.

    Holy cow!
    I hardly ever leave a review but this time I simply had to. I need to let everyone know that this dish is the bomb!
    It sure didn’t hurt that my 7-year old son said “this is a very tasty pasta”, having declared just before dinner that he was not in the mood for pasta He is a meat, egg and dairy lover, so I struggle a bit with finding recipes that he likes. But this is a keeper!
    He has a younger brother age 2, and fixing dinner is usually not easily done once they are home from school and preschool. But I realise that I can prepare this recipe hours ahead when working from home, and then just dump in boiling water and shove it into the oven, without compromising on flavour and nutrients.

    I put some capers in as I didn’t have the recommended amount sundried tomatoes, and I only used half a tsp chili flakes, instead of the 2, which made it hot enough for me without ruining it for the kids.

    Parita, thank you so much for this family friendly recipe ❤️
