While the pasta is cooking, heat a large pan over medium heat.

Add the Sauce:
Step 7
Pour the marinara sauce into the pan with the cooked Beyond Meat and onion.
Step 8
Add 1/4 cup water to the empty marinara jar, shake it, and pour it into the pan to get all the sauce out.

Stir everything together and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Combine Pasta and Sauce:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 11
Mix the cooked ziti pasta with the sauce in the pan until the pasta is fully coated.

In a large baking dish, pour half of the pasta and sauce mixture.
Step 13
Sprinkle half of the vegan mozzarella and parmesan cheese shreds over the pasta.
Step 14
Add the remaining pasta mixture on top.
Step 15
Finish by sprinkling the rest of the cheese on top.
Bake:
