Ingredients

1 pound of your favorite vegan pasta (penne, rigatoni, etc)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup capers, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup pitted and sliced black olives
1/4 cup vegan Parmesan
1/4 cup vegan mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Add the capers and olives and stir to combine. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the pasta mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the vegan Parmesan and mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
