- 1/4 tsp cayenne, optional
- 2 tsp dried oregano, optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 F (200 C).

- Add the pasta, cashew milk, marinara and any spices if using into a 8×8 inch baking dish and stir. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes or until pasta is cooked through.
- Stir in spinach and top with vegan cheese. Place it back into the oven and broil for 4-5 minutes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
