Vegan Baked Ziti

• 1 lb ziti pasta
• 1 (14 ounce) package Gimmie Lean sausage flavor
• 2 (25 1/2 ounce) jars pasta sauce (Muir Glen Tomato Basil is excellent)
• 1 white onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped
• 4 leaves fresh basil, torn
• 1/2 cup fresh oregano, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup soy mozzarella cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1. Put a pot of water on to boil.
2. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Put the sausage in the pan and break down into small bite-sized pieces with the edge of a spoon. Saute until brown.
3. As the sausage is browning, salt the boiling water and add the ziti.
4. Add the garlic and onions to the pan of sausage and cook together until onions are softened. By this time, the pasta should be done.
5. Preheat the oven to 425u0b0F.
6. Drain the pasta, return to the pot, add the sausage and onion mixture, 1 1/2 jars of sauce, 1/2 of the grated cheese and the fresh basil and oregano. Toss well to combine and pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Even the mixture out in the pan, cover with the rest of the sauce, scatter the torn basil over the sauce and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes, or until everything is bubbling and the cheese is melted. Remove and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
