Hey, so if I used whole wheat penne in the Pumpkin Baked Ziti recipe from Veganomicon that makes it have, like, negative amounts of calories and fat, right? Right? Sigh, I guess not. It makes an ass-ton too, so I’ma need to freeze some of it. It kind of dirties a lot of dishes and takes a while, slightly less then 2 hours from start to face stuffing, but like the Butternut Squash Lasagna, it’s worth it. I even made the bread crumbs for it from a bread I tossed in my bread machine at the end of last week.

Pretty in the pan.

    Mmm. I do love that recipe. The ricotta is so tangy and nice.

    yeah, i’m going to seriously start looking at omni recipes that call for ricotta now. i’m already thinking one could use it in a blintz. rather than adding the basil to the tofu, maybe blend in some maple syrup or agave nectar. crap.

    heh, seriously, i like how you can kind of look down one of the penne tubes.
