In a 13 x 9-inch baking dish add a couple of spoonfuls of the marinara sauce to the bottom of the dish. Add about ½ of the pasta and top with about half of the remaining tomato sauce. Next, sprinkle about ¼ cup of vegan ricotta over the top along with half of the garlic, pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, minced basil, salt, and pepper. Repeat and layer the remaining pasta, tomato sauce, ricotta cheese, and spices.
