Step 1.
Heat the oven to 220°C.
Step 2.
To make the vegan Parmesan-style cheese, put all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse/blitz until you have a mealy texture (don’t overwork it or will turn into a paste). Set aside.
Step 3.
Thinly slice the courgettes lengthwise. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
Step 4.
Heat your grill pan. Once hot, grill the courgettes for 3-4 mins on both sides, and remove them when they are soft but still have a nice crunch. Repeat until all the courgette slices are grilled. Alternatively, you can lightly fry them in a frying pan with olive oil.
Step 5.
While the courgettes grill, prepare the tofu cheese by blending tofu, garlic granules, soya milk, oil and a pinch of salt and black pepper until it has a silky thick consistency.
Step 6.
Mince the fresh basil and add it to a bowl with the tomato passata. Add a drizzle of olive oil and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7.
Assemble your parmigiana. Spread a ladle of tomato sauce at the bottom of a 28cm (11-inch) square baking dish. Add a layer of courgette slices followed by a layer of tomato sauce, tofu cheese, and Parmesan-style cheese. Repeat until all the courgettes are used, finishing with a generous layer of tofu cheese and Parmesan-style cheese (this will help create a crust in the oven).
Step 8.
Bake for 40 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top. Serve with some salad leaves, if you like.
