The great thing about this recipe is that it's super versatile, so feel free to sub in any veggies you need to use up! We'll sometimes add parmesan, stir in some ricotta, or add other italian herbs as well!

2

Preheat oven to 350F/175 C.

3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

4

When water is boiling, add pasta and cook according to package instructions.

5

Meanwhile, heat a large, deep fry pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetarian sausage slices and heat, stirring frequently, until crispy. Set aside.

6

In the same fry pan, add olive oil and heat until shimmering.

7

Add onions and garlic. Cook until translucent.

8

Add mushrooms, zucchini, and peppers (and any other hard veg you'd like!) to the fry pan and cook until crisp tender.

9

Add kale to fry pan and cook until wilted.

10

Stir in tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper, and cook until fully combined. Off the heat.

11

Combine pasta, cooked veg, and marinara sauce in a large bowl.

12

In a large casserole dish, layer 1/2 of the pasta mixture and 1/2 of the shredded mozzarella. Repeat.

13

Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve with fresh basil if desired.
