Easy Pasta Bake

When lunch time rolled around this afternoon, Rutiger and I were famished for something quick but yummy. In his own words, I am a "miracle worker" for making this...yes, it really is that good. Here's how to make it:
* 1 pound cooked tube- or spiral-shaped pasta
* 1 jar of your favorite marinara sauce
* 1 container firm tofu (not silken) drained and mashed with the following seasonings:
* 2-3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
* 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
* Pinch of salt
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* chopped veggies such as broccoli, bell pepper, mushrooms, zucchini, etc.
Simply mix everything together in a large bowl and put into a lightly oiled casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, until hot all the way through. Enjoy!
