Ingredients
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
4 tablespoons tomato paste

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup water
1 cup Califia Farms Unsweetened Almondmilk

1 bunch tuscan kale, stem removed and leaves chopped
½ cup shredded vegan mozzarella

Freshly chopped basil, optional
Directions
01
Heat oven to 375°F.

To a 9x13 inch pan, add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, sugar, vegetable broth, water, Califia Farms Unsweetened Almondmilk, and whisk well to combine.
03
Add the rigatoni, mushrooms, and kale, and mix into the sauce base until well-coated.
04
With the back of a spoon, press the pasta noodles to submerge them in the liquid as much as possible.

Cover the pan tightly with tin foil. Place into the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
06
Remove the pan and carefully mix the pasta, making sure to coat any dry noodles with sauce.
07
Place the foil back on, and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Remove the pasta from the oven and remove the tin foil.
08
Give the pasta one more stir, then top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
09
Place the pan back into the oven and let bake for about 10 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is slightly bubbling.

Remove from the oven and enjoy while hot!
