Vegan Tetrazzini is easy to make, and the rich cozy flavor will blow your mind! This creamy dairy free noodle casserole with soy curls and mushrooms is just as comforting as a traditional chicken or turkey tetrazzini recipe! Our vegetarian version is also freezer-friendly and makes a perfect family-friendly plant-based dinner.
PREP THE INGREDIENTS: Preheat your oven to 350F and prep your ingredients: Rehydrate the soy curls in some veggie broth (I use more vegan bouillon for this), cook the noodles, sauté the mushrooms in some olive oil + a pinch of salt.
MAKE THESAUCE: Next, make the sauce: Add the hot water, silken tofu, cashews, white wine, vegan bouillon, and salt to a heat-safe high-powered blender and blend on high until smooth. Set this aside. Melt the vegan butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until fully incorporated. It will look like a really thick glob, but fret not. Slowly add the blender mixture, whisking as you pour until there are no clumps. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preference and cook 4-5 more minutes on low heat to thicken it a bit.
ASSEMBLE + BAKE: Finally, it's time to assemble and bake! Toss about a cup of sauce with the noodles and grease a large 9x13 casserole. In it, layer the saucy noodles, mushrooms, half the sauce, soy curls, remaining sauce, and parmesan. Bake this beautiful masterpiece for 30 minutes and broil for 3-5 to get that gorgeous browned top. Serve hot and ENJOY!
