Vegan MoFo day 16 - What’s your favourite late summer food?

Well, I guess late summer is kind of now although technically isn't it autumn? Anyhow, when the weather cools down I'm usually glad to be getting back in to hearty things like stews, soups, curries etc.
Mostly though, I miss having pasta bakes! I find it too warm in the summer to have too much stodgy food, especially if it's warm food. I know pasta bake isn't very adventurous but I love carby food this time of year, and Italian flavours always delight me.

In my typical pasta bake I mix wholewheat or high protein pasta with olives, passata, garlic, Italian herbs, some kind of vegetable such as courgette and maybe some type of bean if I'm feeling cheeky.
Always topped with vegan cheese (violife or cheezly), and usually extra virgin olive oil and some salted tomatoes too.

I LOVE PASTA BAKE AND I'M NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT IT!

I skimped a bit on the cheese, whoops.

  1. Great choice! I'm having trouble thinking of my favourite food for this prompt. Ideally I'd want to take advantage of the final summer days by having salads and things like that, but it's already so cold and rainy that I'd rather have a pasta bake as well! I just had the last of a dish of lasagna and now I wish I could try your pasta. I love the blue flowery plate too.
