5 from 31 reviews

A healthy baked pasta recipe made with just 5 key ingredients (all gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly). Plus no boiling water needed!

  • Prep Time: 5 mins
  • Cook Time: 40 mins
  • Total Time: 45 mins

Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces gluten-free pasta (penne-type shape works best)
  • 1 16-ounce can full-fat coconut milk (or any milk – I also sometimes do half broth!)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 20-ounce jar of marinara sauce*
  • 1.5 cups shredded organic mozzarella*
  • Optional: cooked protein like meatballs or sausage

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and take out a 9×13 baking dish
  2. Shake the can of coconut milk to breakup the creamy parts
  3. Add the pasta to the baking dish and spread it across the dish
  4. Add the milk, garlic, onion, oregano and marinara and mix well to evenly combine
  5. Sprinkle cheese on top then cover the dish with tin foil
  6. Bake in oven for about 35-40 minutes then remove foil and broil for about 90 seconds so the cheese starts to bubble

Notes

*It’s okay if the amount of sauce is a bit more/less but something around 20 ounces

*Sub dairy-free cheese if desired
